    My life is crazy.... Venting again

    I havent been posting much as my life has taken a turn South in many ways. I have been going to Dr appointments like crazy with no end results and no help. I have had bone scans and cat scans and blood work and visits to 4 surgeons, Pain spec and Rhumatologists. Lets not forget dentists and an Ordontist fro a broken tooth down to the route.

    The results my left knee replacement is loose and may need to be re replaced. My right knee needs to be replaced. My right hip needs to be replaced. The Dr won't touch me because my pain levels are too high and as he put it " you are on enough meds to knock out an Elephant" I can't access my pain meds as they have vhanged the classification so I am suffering at levels that I cant handel and no one wants to give me a script because of the change. The pain Dr I went to see was a dick wad so I am still hunting.

    The last 3 weeks have been 7 appointments 9 this week and I have 9 next week. I am ready to fall over.To top the cake I fell and landed on my hip.

    Losing hope of any help losing desire too keep trying this has been going on for the last 3-4 years and I am bancrupt and have been denied by SS disabitly more than one. My medical costs last year were $28,000 and this year I am at $ 11,00 out of pocket.

    This is my life I hate it to a point that I am spilling over having meltdowns in offices and evacuating out of fear. I have severe PTSD and AS and I have lost my marbels.

    Training Molly has been pudhed aside as my energy levels are zero and that worrys me as I really want her to be well trained.

    Anyway that is my vent. Off to my next appointment

    That is a lot to deal with, I am sorry you are in so much pain. I will never understand drs that will not treat chronic pain issues, which you obviously have. Sending good thoughts you are able to find some help in the very near future.

    So sorry you're going through all this. I was going to suggest a pain specialist but see you've already seen one but apparently not helpful for you. Maybe a different one would be a better fit. I'm sure the physical pain makes it very difficult for you to feel positive or hopeful. Even if Molly isn't getting the training you'd like to give her, I hope she provides you with companionship and some happy moments every day.

It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    I hope the new pain specialist will be able to offer some options to give you a bit of relief at least.

    Oh, so sorry you are going through this. I too was going to suggest a pain specialist; hopefully the new one will work out better.

    Sending prayers of comfort.
