In pain with TOS
Wow a one nights stay?? I have TOS too and the Dr's are telling me the surgery will be painfull, laid up for 3 months, they only do one side at a time and it's not 100% the pain usually comes back. Ummm why would I want to do that? PT doesnt work, chiro makes it worse, and I refuse to take strong meds 1. cause most make me sick and 2. cause I have seen may people with pain take those and they can't stop. Nope that's not for me. I am too young and have kids I need to be here with what is left of me. I am in pain daily 24/7, sleeping is a joke waking every 1.5 to 2 hours to dead arms or pain, clenching teeth at night from the pain... the list goes on and on. All I can do is change things, my outlook on life as it is now, how it will have to be and go with that. My kids need me and I thrive for them. Your day is how you make it... I am in loads of pain probably more than my family will ever know but I can't dwell n that I have to put on my happy face and make the most of that day. It may be painful an I may be slow but I will get there ;) My next try is botox injections... we'll see. If anyone has any info or would just like to talk to someone who knows where they're coming from email me ;) foravon@hotmail.com
