And yet not a single reference anywhere to treating pain with narcotics? Has the "opioid crisis" turned the entire medical establishment into a bunch of scurrying chickenshits? My pain is so constant and severe that I would have killed myself years ago without the relief afforded me by a range of prescription painkillers.
Oh Brother- I'm exactly* with you

Due to my continued decline, my PCP ordered this and today I found someone to take my insurance which is marginal. Has anyone had one and if so what can I expect? They said it would take 2 hours. Thanks for any input you have to share.
Pam, I feel like a lion with the courage to face, see, ask, search for, and be sustainable while doing so. I really appreciate that because "warriors" are a person engaged or experienced in warfare… read more
Having to lay still for 45 minutes while getting an MRI of my hip cause a flare up that was very painful and lasted for weeks. Has anyone else experienced flare ups after having imaging done?
I do sympathise. I didn't know how I was going to get through it. I also find physiotherapists beds cause me pain afterwards. It's not just lying still. It's the pressure against something hard.
Right back to you Stephanie. 💗
Thank you to all who have been sending me hugs! I still haven't found the Red Heart or Thumbs-Up on my site to return them to you all!

I'm never completely out of pain. I try to get to 4, but haven't in a long time. I made it to 5 a couple weeks ago. I bleed and bruise super easy so Nsaids are not a good idea for me, don't need any… read more
Are chondroid lesions within the bone marrow of the femur typical for Spondylitis sufferers? I have one almost a full cm in length in my upper femur close to the hip joint. My orthopedic surgeon didn't point it out and I read online that it's not uncommon, rarely cancerous. I saw it on my MRI and it's mentioned in the Radiologist report. I'm wondering if it's a typical symptom of Spondylitis.
I'm so sorry Pam. I'm at a rare loss for words. I cannot imagine the agony you must be experiencing with the loss of your soul mate support. Wow, what an awful blow.😔Thinking of you and hoping for a… read more
