I am feeling sorry for myself, because my Sciatic nerve is playing up, I didn;t sit down yesterday all day, laid in bed last night not daring to move in case the pain shot up my leg again, it has been a bit easier today I am still better walking about, so I am having ten mins at a time on the computer _________________
I am still in pain from my sciatic nerve, only up side is I have no trouble walking, but first thing in a morning getting out of bed it's a killer, pain killers don't help much I try not to take them all the time _________________
Sorry to hear about your pain, Joan. I am back to the doctor again tomorrow morning as I still require help with my breathing problem. _________________ http://sewardchronicles.ning.com/
Let us know how you get on Sandie I walked around a large shopping outlet today with my Daughter no problem, but you should have seen me getting in and out of her Audi TT now the things you see when you haven't a camera _________________
Not been on line much sorry but I just can not sit for any lenght of time at the computer even been standing up to eat same trouble Scatica,anyway been to the doctors and got some strong pain killers trouble is they make me feel ill and I drop to sleep everytime I lay down,my leg feels a bit better today so fingers crossed it's going _________________
Sorry to hear about your pain, Joan, it sounds very unpleasant.
I have been suffering from back problems again, it's my own fault though because I still think that I am the fit and healthy person I used to be, and try all the time to do too much or lift something too awkwardly and, wham!, back to square one again!
I was in agony yesterday, it did not matter if I was sitting, standing, or lying down, in fact lying down it was the most painful of all.
I have been using a rubber hot water bottle against it for the past two nights, and I have to say that today has been virtually "pain-free". _________________ http://sewardchronicles.ning.com/
Pleased you are feeling better Sandie my leg is still painful sometimes I think it is going then WHAM I turn the wrong way and it's bad again, I will try and catch up later in the week. _________________
Been to an Osteopath today, he pushed and pulled me about a bit, I hope things will improve now and I can once again sit at my computer in comfort. _________________
I found the hot water bottle an invaluable aid to ease the pain in my back, Joan. Today has been all but pain free, the first complete day since leaving hospital.
I managed to get all of my laundry washed and dried, and went out for a walk as well to my local Charity Shop, where I picked up a set of six Cliff Richard and the Shadows vinyl albums, that had been inside their own box at one time.
No sign of the box, but the records and their sleeves are totally unmarked and have hardly ever been played. _________________ http://sewardchronicles.ning.com/
It's the ice pack that works for me Sandie, pleased you have had a good day, I have managed to go through the day without pain killers , but will have to take some before i go to bed take care bye for now. _________________
When I get these backaches,Joan, no painkillers even touch it.
I went out for a walk today with my friend (hopefully soon to become my Carer), and I managed to walk to one of the new shops that has opened in my area, "Go Outdoors."
They sell Kendal Mint Cake and many other goodies, and I enjoyed wandering around looking at the tents, and other camping equipment, cycles, and cycling accessories, and some good pairs of walking shoes and boots.
They offered a Discount Card for £4 for a year, and with that card you really get a good deal off any purchases you make.
It feels so good to be able to walk again without getting totally breathless, although I am fully aware now of my limitations and instinctively know just what I can and cannot do. _________________ http://sewardchronicles.ning.com/
Pleased you are getting out again Sandie, I am sorry I have not been on line much but my Sciatica has been so painful and sitting at the computer is a no, no, I am sitting on a big cushion at the moment but my leg is nagging away just like toothache, my consultant has sent me for a bone scan just in case it's something else,thats on Monday but then as I don't see him for another two months when will i get the results? I expect they would call me back if theres anthing wrong,so if you don't see me on here I have not deserted just having to give things a rest. _________________
