It's been three weeks since my collapse in
the doctors office. I'm on painkillers,
and i'm already into three percocet a
night, that doesn't even get me through
the night. I haven't slept with my
partner in as many weeks, I kick her at
night and hurt her. So I attempt to sleep
on the couch. I can't handle this pain
for very much longer. I'm at the end.
How do you get through the night and day
know, feeling, enduring pain at every
moment??

Unendurable Pain Posted: 10-31-04 10:12am
I can really relate! Last wednesday
morning, I awoke to such excruciating pain
I thought I was having a heart attack!
This was preceded by over 2 weeks of
muscle pain and spasm from my neck to my
forearm and down by the back to my sholder
blade. Which of course, caused an 8 day
migraine. I called the emergency room,
talked a nurse and they tolded me to come
right away. So after 4 hours in the
emergency room, an ekg, back, neck and
sholder x-rays, nothing! They knew I
wasn't drug seeking because I never asked
for any pain medication, I took all of
mine with me, which is a wide variety up
to heavy opiates for extreme emergency.
These are suppose to keep me from going to
the emergency room.
They told me to follow up with my pain
management dr who I had an appointment
with latter that day, who of course,
increased all my meds. I'm on enough
pain killers and anti-seizure medication
to kill a horse, and yet i'm still in
daily pain!!!!! Topomax, nadolol,
flexeril, lamictal, cymbalta, primedone,
darvocet, actiq, zanaflex, frova.
Relaflex, even though a lot of these are
prn, prn is too often.
