Thanks MG, it can be really depressing sometimes trying to get on with life when you are in soo much pain. Thankfully though it didn't play up too much with my pregnancy, which I was very grateful for.
Not being able to hang the washing, or vacuum or make the beds can be annoying, but not being able to pick up your bub and give them a cuddle when they need it because you physically can't do it without crying in pain.... THAT SUCKS!
Absolutely is does Belle! But focus on what you CAN do. Also, you may not be able to pick him up, but try to find other ways of dealing with the situation. I can't lift my DD at all (well, I'm not suppose to!) so I find ways around it. She is older than your DS but even when she was younger we had things we'd do. I'd lean over her on the floor and kiss her, I'd tickle her with my hair; now she crawls into my lap and gets her hugs that way. If we're out, I just plonk on the floor and she climbs in.
GBH honey that really does suck, not being able to do things can make u feel really useless but not being able to snuggle parker!! that truely does suck. i think it would be worthwile looking at whether there are any new treatments or management strategies that are available now?
hope u get some rest and snuggles soon xxoo
Untold, you might need to do a bit of research because there *will* be other specialists - you may just have to travel a little further...let your GP do some of the homework for you (if you have a GP you trust, if not find one of them first!!!) I've had loads of medical treatment over the last couple of years and there is a massive difference between some doctors and other doctors, and the magic ingredient is care and concern. Telling you you "should" have no pain tells me the wally you saw had no further interest in helping you. That's not really good enough. Plus, don't underestimate the degree to which medical science has come along in the few years since then, sometimes it could even be something simple like changing the way your meds are combined can make a huge difference. Never ever give up hope!
Thanks MD.. I know he had no intention of taking my treatment any further as he was paid by an insurance company for the assessment There is another pain clinic through one of the hospitals, but looking at it's assessment criteria, I would be on a waiting list as it has been 9years I also don't know if I can go through all the assessments again to be told that I am making it up / I shouldn't have these problems etc because I have been told that already and it is really depressing. Maybe I should just pull my finger out and get back into the really strict exercise regime that gives me some relief... now just to get in the head space to do that with PND hanging around like a bad smell
hon. I understand. I have a back injury that really interferes with life at times.
