| me too!
Just had to reply in the thread too......................... I have a difficult pain problem that just goes on and on............... Broke my os calcus in my foot (heel bone) some years ago............... the doc said that the x ray showed up that it had smashed like an egg being dropped - consequence is that it will never heal.................. my doc said that it is actually the worst bone in the body to break (no competition here!! LOL) ............ I continue to have this permanent pain whenever I walk................ etc etc etc. I havent found a solution - there isnt one really? Anti inflammatories, plenty of physio/walking/exercising.............. is the best I have managed to date. But I simply refuse to allow it to take over.......... I am no couch potato! LOL I have to add that all the joints up that side of my body now affected and I am facing up to knee and hip replacements in the future - just as distant in the future as I can make it!!!!!!!!! Surgery has to be the last option for joints - I think.
Somehow - each and every one of us has to deal with pain in some form or other - and have to find the best solution depending on our individual circumstances........ and then try to forget about it and get on with life.
I know it isnt easy - but if you want to live a positive and rewarding life..... then.........
Have you all seen the girl (forget her name for the moment) who has terminal cancer - now with secondaries all over her body - who has just cycled all the way across the States? For a cancer charity? She is on her 4th bout of chemo.......... and is very very ill............ she just refuses to give up. Now I know she is quite exceptional - but I think we all have to adopt her kind of positive attitude to pain............. and try to just get on with it. I would qualify that statement with - those of us who are able.................... as I know some people have circumstances which wont allow this.................... but not many.
Sorry this sounds sort of garbled..................and I guess I am saying that the only way out is through............
woops
