VITIMIN D DEFIENCY AND "PAIN"

[ROCKERWOMAN75]

HELLO,I AM NEW TO THIS FORUM.
I HAVE BEEN READING AND THOUGHT I'D SHARE MY STORY.

IN SEPT/2007 I HAD SPINAL SURGERY,WITH A FUSION ON THE LUMBAR 4 AND 5.ALONG WITH TITANIUM ROD'S AND SCREW'S,AND A DECOMPRESSION,I ALSO HAD THIS DONE IN 1090.

I HAVE SPINAL STENOSIS ALONG WITH SCOLISOSIS AND DDD.

aFTER I HAD MY LAST SURGERY I FELT GOOD AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM THE HOSP,THEN IT WAS IN OCT/07 THE PAIN GOT WORSE.pAIN AND WEAKNESS,TOOK OVER MY LIFE.

I WAS SUPPOSE TO WALK,AND DO STERTCHING.I DID OK FOR AWHILE THEN THE PAIN AND WEAKNESS MADE ME WORSE.I COULD NOT WALK ANY FURTHER THEN DOWN THE SIDEWALK,WITHOUT CRAMPING OF MY MUSCLES AND PAIN ALL OVER.

I KEPT COMPLAINING OF THE PAIN AND WEAKNESS TO MY PAIN MANAGEMENT DOC'S..THEY KEPT SAYING I JUST HAD SPINAL OR AND IT WILL GET BETTER,THAT I WAS STILL RECOVERING.

I TOLD THEM I WAS JUST NOT MYSELF,IN GOING BACKWARD'S INSTEAD OF FORWARD.

fINLLY I TOOK THE ADVISE OF MY sPINE DOC AND WENT TO SEE THE rHEUMY AFTER MY bONE DENSITY TEST CAME BACK OSTEOPORIS,THOUGH THEY COULD NOT TEST MY SPINE WITH THE BOLT'S AND SCREW'S,THEY JUST DID MY KNEE'S LEG'S,WRIST'S AND HAND'S,SO LIKELY IT'S IN MY SPINE.

THE NEW RHEUMY DID ALOT OF BLOOD WORK,AND FOUND OUT BY MY fAMILY DOC ALL MY LAB WORK'S CAME BACK ABNORMAL..
vITIMIN D DECFIENCY
HIGH SURGAR
ABNORMAL THYROID TEST
CHOLESTROL HIGH
INFLAMATORY ABNORMAL
sO SHE TOLD ME TO KEEP MY rHEUMY APPT THAT IS TOMMRROW,THURSDAY.

i HAD ALL THIS PAIN FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 3-4 YEAR'S WITH NO TEST,KEPT SAYIG IT WAS fIBROMYALGIA,AND RECOVERYING FROM SPINE SURGERY..

THOUGH I NEVER FELT SO BAD IN MY WHOLE LIFE..sPINE SURGERY RECOVERY WAS EASIER THEN THIS..

i AM SO UPSET AT ALL THE DR'S I HAVE SEEN FOR PAIN,THINKING IT WAS IN MY HEAD..

ANYONE ELSE BEEN THRU THIS WITH THEIR DOCTOR'S..i FELT LIKE I WAS A DRUG SEEKER...ASKING AND BEGGING FOR HIGHER PAIN MED'S..i NEED TO WALK BUT i CANT LIKE THIS.
tHANKS FOR LISTENING AND SORRY FOR MY TYPING ERROR'S..SO WEAK AND PAIN IN FINGER'S AND OTHER BONES AND MUSCLES.
GAIL..UNCOMPFORTABLE.

All I can tell you is that you aren't alone.  I endured the same kind of mistreatment from countless doctors until I just gave up.  Guess I was lucky after my 2nd neck fusion complete with hardware and screws.  Both surgeries just made everything so much worse, so when the docs gave up on me, I gave up on them.  I got rid of my pain myself by joining a gym and hiring a personal trainer.  Yeah, it was about the worst pain I've ever felt in my life, but after about a month, the pain was gone and hasn't returned in over 10 years.  That's what I mean about being "lucky".  I just wish I could exercise my way out my arthritis and abdominal pain.  :-)

Try the ACV apple cider viniger two times a day 1 and 1/2 tbs. each time.  Organic.  It helps alot
