10 Shots Today
I hope they help. Im getting 6 in my back and 2 in my neck along with 2 in the lower back of my head.
I have had 6 surgeries for cancer, plus hernia, tonsils and andnoids, left foot tendon and both knees replaced. I am not scared of surgery but i am really really scared for them to mess with my neck or back.
They have tried to get me to have surgery on my back and neck but im scared. If it gets much worse i will have to do something.
I have not been in my shop for over two weeks because of cold, wet and pain. Arthritis sucks.
I have spots on my kidneys and lungs. When they do ct scans they always write on the test some big word when you look it up it says that i bad arthritis.
I had a shot in my elbow last week and it is still helping some.
I went to the pain clinic last week and told them you HAVE to do something different that i am miserable. 3 or 4 months ago they gave me 2 shots in my back that did nothing.
They do not want to raise my pain meds and i do not care if they raise them or not but something has to get better. I am about as far as i can go. Pain is like a weight and you get tired of carrying that weight.
Has anybody tried accupuncter? Or anything else. Im open for ideas.

Have you tried hydro therapy.
Heated salt water pool. Takes the pressure off the joints and releases some of the pin from arthritis.
I go regularly just to exercise (resistance in the water), helped with my knee surgery's a few years back and I just keep going.
There are several folks that have trouble even walking that the love the range motion they get. May folks that are recovering from back surgery, say it helps to strengthen the muscles without stress.
And it is just great just to relax.
As a Senior (60) I pay $ 30.00 a month for the pool (2 days a week) and get benefits of the rest of the Gym.http://www.extremeky.com/therapy-pool/
