Mitchie,
I don't want to add another
to your med's situation. But I was concerned about the comment you made reg. taking neurontin here & there. This is an anti epileptic drug found to help w/nerve pain. The pharmacist & my doc told me you have to slooooowly build to a high enough dose to help (as high as 3600mgs or more,) over a period of days & weeks. Then when you come off, you have to slooowly lower the dose. This is because it can actually cause seizures..even a gran-mal (sp?) seizure.
Please ask your doc about this, K? (You can read about it on the net also.)
For your hip....I understand fully!!! I was able to sleep on it after the 1st month & the last few weeks it hardly bothers me at all. (Still have a large numb patch on my upper thigh that is coming back a tiny bit every day, but feels weird like after the dentist.)
My NS prescribed Ketorolac anti-inflamitory & it helped quite a bit for a while.
Hang in there, baby. Every week gets better.
You have my prayers as well.
Jackie
i didn't know whether to continue on my last thread or not. i am feeling much better. my neck & back do get stiff occassionally, & my hip is so sore. it still hurts to lay on that side. i am no longer taking the darvocet, or the hydrocodone (which i found i can take), i am taking 800mg ibuprofen & a few neurontin here & there. sometimes standing for awhile or even moving around really hurts. what kind of exercises can any of you suggest?
