I have lower back pain everyday. They say it's from an abusive marriage some 35 yes ago. So, I called a pain clinic he was great and believed me. I was getting spinal shots every 3 months. Now, I don't have to go except once a year. I hope this helps u. God 🙌 bless.

I've had at least some pain since I was twelve and chronic pain and chronic fatigue since I was a teen. I also sometimes can't walk and have a very unstable walk fairly regularly. Sometimes it's joint pain or severe stiffness and sometimes it's muscle pain or both, usually in my lower back and hips but in some of my other joints as well. There are days I'm so exhausted that standing makes me black out or fall asleep standing and the severity increases and decreases in waves. I'm currently being tested for Lupus, I also potentially have the face rash symptom/sensitivity to sunlight, as well as testing for the top ten most common autoimmune disorders. Sometimes some stretching helps and seeing a chiropractor bimonthly has helped improve some of my mobility but other than that the only medications I've noticed help have been muscle relaxants, some opioids, and medical marijuana. If any of

me too! i’ve been dealing with it for the past months and it’s terrible. no matter the amount of rest i get to help it i’m still in pain and super weak

Change doctors doesn't sound like they are in your corner...work on yourself no one can do it for you...self esteem journal prompts are a good Google them and set an alarm for every day to sit and journal...also pain journal prompts or even find a pain diary to hit down everything in your morning noon dinner time and bedtime and show it to your new doctor. Things to jot down would be what you ate, did physically, pain level, meds taken when, stressors in your day, and anything else that maybe useful for the doctor to piece together a plan of action with you. What you don't want to do is write it like a diary and write letters no organized boxes that hold info Google daily pain journal printouts and get the general idea look through them all take what fits and use it or print out the one you are excited to fill out on a four times a day basis. Set alarms for these journal times so you don't forget. And Advocate for yourself because covid we can't have our advocating supporter with us for appointments or you could video call them while in the Dr visit if Dr agrees. Routines are extremely helpful in all situations life can throw at us. It grounds us and allows us to expect things which eases anxiety and allows you to be in the present moment. Now my story, I am 42 nearly (in may I turn 42) I had 7 babies, I had L5S1 fusion done July 2016 a few days after Pokemon go released. Among other surgeries like hysterectomy, removal of tube and ovary because cysts, tubal ligation, gallbladder removed, wisdom teeth extraction, muscle biopsy, colonoscopy, endoscopy, TMJ flushing joint worst pain ever and after giving me 1-2 every 4-6 hours I took 2 every 4 hours and was still in pain doctor refused to treat my pain said I was addicted, and had a LEEP done to remove precancerous cells from my cirvix. I have fibromyalgia, ADHD, Major Depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and bursitis in both hips and both shoulders. I've been a stay at home mom since 2002, and am now having to get a job to support me and my two kids as I am in the process of divorce. I am in college to get degree in IT technology so I can get a help desk job in the end with my A+ certification diploma. I got my highschool diploma last year. I'm working on me journaling has helped shape me I to who I really am...so I can stop focusing on what other people think about who I am and what I'm about. Getting up and personal with myself. And I am in no hurry to find someone else. I'm working on loving myself for who I actually am and not who I was molding myself into being for other people. This process has been very helpful in all aspects of my life

Do you use any mobility aids? It sounds like you could really benefit from them!

Oh I also have PTSD

I'm going to have my blood pressure taken on legs see if blood flow is restricted causing pain...it's a test for P.A.D. peripheral artery disease https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/peripheral-artery-disease/symptoms-and-diagnosis-of-pad if they finding nothing like my doctor too...maybe this is what we have going on

Well given your family history of blood clots p.a.t.is not far from that but you know your body better than mine...at least look at the symptoms because so no many are losing their legs from it at you get ages...you say you live in bed and on the couch which can cause blood clots just trying to help you not lose your leg/s...and if you are taking hormone replacement therapy your risk rises....you need physical therapy and get up off the bed and couch ASAP that is just asking for issues...I'm walking on bursitis hips pushing through wishing I was dead but keep putting one foot Infront of the other and keep going and hope someday soon I will reach the unicorn stage of "in shape"...please rule out P.A.T. before it's too late

P.A.D. not P.A.T. *

yeah it definitely sounds like you need a new doctor. I also had that issue, my pediatrician took xrays when i was a teen and diagnosed me with slight scoliosis that is exacerbated by "obesity", a large chest, and posture from sitting at school. I told my current chiropractor, who is a specialist, about that and she laughed about it throughout my whole first appointment because of how bad a diagnosis it was, both my hips were out of place, parts of my spine were a full inch off, even my brainstem was out of place and I had several trigger points. I'm getting more xrays done as part of the Lupus testing once I'm abled enough to get to the lab and I'm going to insist on seeing them. I don't know the ins and outs of the quality of weed were you live but it seems where I live the recreational users tend to get lower quality weed for pain to save the good stuff for the medical users that need it, but also some pain managements just dont work for some people. I've heard that some steroids can work as adjuvant treatment for some types of pain, so that might be a clue to what's going on and/or one method that might be helpful in treatment.
