Re: ouch. I hurt myself.

Trisha I split my tail bone back in 66.. It healed little
by little and the worst time the pain would start up in
that area would be at my monthly time. Had hyster at
age 38 and now at age 68 it acts up at my monthly time.
Pooie on all the symptons that are supposed to go over the hill after the
change...I and some other women that I
know still have some of the crap that comes with it.. The
best out of all the O sit-on's is the red tough rubber one.
You can adjust the amount of air. The reason that I suggest that you get
this kind is I took my cheap swim
one to a local pizza place and as I was enjoying my
delicious big piece B A M it blew !!

Good luck how ever you help yourself with the pain.
Pain pills didnt do didly squat for the pain...

I cleaned the smaller covered area of the outside chicken coop
yesterday and was in the middle of moving the stump we leave there to
sit on so we can watch the birds and I slipped in the mud. I landed
hard against the stump with my backside and then landed on my *** and
my right arm. I sprained that wrist a while back and just bought a
brace; I never went and got it checked. It bugs me off and on. My
backside, however, is not happy. I have a sideways bruise about 8
inches long and it's probably 2-3 inches wide except in the middle,
where it's bigger.

I believe that I at least bruised my tailbone. It HURTS. If it hurts
this much to bruise it when I'm on narcotics, what would it have felt
like if I wasn't on them? My youngest daughter did hers a few years
back but the bruise she got was about 1/4 or less the size of mine.

Instead of sitting or lying around and fussing, though, knowing
already that position and activity level really usually doesn't affect
the fact that I'm going to hurt whether or not I like it, I did make
myself get up today and do some of the things I usually do. It makes
no sense to sit around and then get sore from not moving. That just
makes it worse.

I did have to take 1/2 a 7.5/750 Lortab last night but haven't had one
since. I'm going to need one soon, though. I can feel it.

If I sit in a hard chair on a round pillow (my equivalent of a donut
cushion) it helps my *** feel better. However, due to my reaction to
this dose of Methadone, my feet swell up like dinner rolls rising on a
baking ***. If I put my feet up, my *** hurts.

Hubby was messing with me yesterday - I've become quite the klutz
since I started taking more meds than I eat - and he said, "I can't
take you anywhere!" I looked back and said, "Well, it looks like you
can't leave me here, either."

I'm going to see my doc when I can get in this week. I don't want to
and I'm not sure how it's going to feel driving my stick shift car but
I need to see her and I'll be careful and drive like a geezer if I
need to. After a couple weeks when I can tolerate the manipulation,
I'll go to my chiropractor and have her abuse me a bit because I'm
pretty sure I'm out of alignment now.

This also made my shoulders tense and my head hurts. It's not the
AFP. This is a headache.

Ah, life is wonderful.

I hope you all are having a better week than I am.
