Mom here my Reunion update
Titled: I fought sciatica and sciatica WON!!!
As of today, I've been dealing with this 😈 for 10 days.
Friday my doctor was off; however, I left a vm on prescription question option # and an email on the portal at 10:30 am asking about a muscle relaxer. I had high hopes one of her other doctors would reply. Finally I called again at 4 to check got recording that their Friday office hours are 7 am-3pm.
First I knew about Friday hours. So I did not get an RX. Currently I can walk around the house w/o too much discomfort. The stairs are still not good. First thing in the morning it feels ok. As the day progresses, sciatica worsens. As you know, I have a wild party in my head many days that does crazy things. Every so often my smart head party shows up which it did yesterday. It told me stay home, sitting for 3 hours was sure to set back my wee bit of improvement. I really would rather not have a set back just for 3 hours which would surely cause many more days of discomfort. I was very very 😥

so sad you missed your reunion, I do agree with your decision though, this devil you are fighting will take every bit of rope you give him and make it worse. rest and more rest is the answer to it and of course time. so sad for you because this was a one time event. prayers and hugs coming your way
ReplyDeletedoc offices make me crazy and I have a RANTING sermon from my soapbox about them.
ReplyDeleteLove the framed pictures of you in your sunpuddle, Madi!
ReplyDeleteYour poor mom. This is so not right.
Gosh, that sure sounds painful. Hope you can find something to make it feel better. Sending lots of purrs and prayers too.
ReplyDeleteOh Madi's Mom, we are so so very sorry to hear that you are doing so poorly. Mom says it sounds like you might need one or more of those injections to the disc area to help alleviate the pain. We hope you can find some way to a bit of relief today and get prompt service from your doctor tomorrow. Gentle Hugs.

ReplyDeleteI hope your Mom feels better soon. That sounds like an awful pain. XO
ReplyDeleteYipes! Back pain is no fun! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh that is such a miserable thing to deal with! So sorry you're still trying to get past it. Are you taking anti-inflammatories? That was what finally got mom through her years of sciatica.

ReplyDeleteOh so sorry your Mom missed the reunion but sitting in a car and being miserable at what should be a fun party just isn't worth it! We hope she can get a muscle relaxer or injection or something to help her. That's a LONG bout of sciatica. Mom knows that is PURE MISERY! We're sending her POTP - hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteLove, Teddy and Mom too
:-(...We are so sorry your Mama couldn't go to her reunion...:-(
ReplyDeleteThose sunpuddles look like a comfy place to rest until your Mama feels better!

Sorry you couldn't go. 😢 Funny story - I have had wicked st times hip pain for about 4 months. Finally saw my doctor. She thinks I have sciatic nerve damage - I see a physiotherapist on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteHope your Mom feels better soon and that you are doing ok too, Madi !
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the sciatica. I went to the physical therapist for 2 months and it did not really help with my hip pain. I made some adjustments to my computer desk and chair. Make sure I swivel the chair so I stand up straight to get up and no twisting. That seems to have helped more than the PT exercises.

Beautiful pictures of you, Madi. And your poor mom. We hope she can get some relief.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your Mom missed her reunion but it was a pretty wise choice.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear your sciatica is still causing you so much discomfort. I have been lucky to not have any problems with it myself for many years so I know how it can wreck your life.
ReplyDeleteOH NOES! So sorry abouts your Reunion! oh that sucks! Butts, I do thinks your Moms did the right thingie ~ I can't imagine how bad it would be now if she tried to go. Tell your Moms that I gots lots of margaritas that will help with that ☺ Ma has an extra jumbo size bottle of Advil if your Moms needs it. (you don't wants to know how much Ma counts on it!) Sendin' lots of POTP and healin' vibes and muscle relaxants ☺ your Moms way!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I wants to share that sunpuddle gurl....scooch overs....

That sciatica has gotta go! I am so sorry you couldn't go to your reunion. Right to not go I am thinking. It would have been a long time sitting. Hope it is better this morning. Maybe muscle relaxers today!
