@newfmamainoregon , yes, agree with @rstogether - radiation treatments to painful spots on my spine (cervical and sacral) were magical!!! I had endured such pain for six months last year, diagnosed incorrectly as due to worsening scoliosis because of bone loss caused by years of Tamoxifen and Arimidex and thought this pain was just my life now. January MRI showed the bone lesions, some exactly at those painful spots, of course. I had good results after two weeks daily radiation (one area took the full six weeks to completely resolve the pain) and I hope you do, too.
Chicagoan - so sorry about your hip news and that you had to endure so much pain b4 things were diagnosed later rather than sooner. Had to have my right hip replaced due to avascular necrosis caused by Xgeva. Took care of the pain and I know you will find relief from a hip replacement. Keep us updated on treatment plans. And I agree with our Mara - wishing Lego pain on those who ignored you!
hi all. Watching Phillies game. Takes one's mind off other stuff.
@chicagoan OH I am so sorry for what you are dealing with. In your pocket gal for a pain free result if surgery is a go. We need to be heard and believed and helped. No excuses from medical teams.
@cookie54 Ah, thanks for thinking of me. Had the spinal epidural yesterday. It went much better then the last pain management appt. I had an anastesiologist preform the routine. He was wonderful as was his staff. Minor improvement, but I'll take it. Did have a real nasty headache for 24 hours, but it has subsided.
Not much going on around here. Did get the crafts together for DGD to work on, if she comes by. Found more $1.25 items to add to the doll house, sofa, table and figures to make a village and dog park. lol.
The night blooming cereus gave us 6 beautiful, fragrant flowers. As the name indicates, only blooms at night and just one night. sigh But it has bloomed 3 times this year. Never that lucky before. Love gardening, when I can.
In pockets for everyone and sending my wishes for a better tomorrow.
Chicagoan, I'm sorry to hear this latest... I believe it was Intolight who said something like "why aren't we believed" when we tell our metal team about pain, side effects, etc. Really hoping this can be taken care of quickly for you.
