For something that Drs. talking so little about it sure does us great stress and of course, pain. Thanks Pati, next time I go to get Kens drops I will pick some up.
It does sound a lot like Bio-Freeze. That burns the heck out of your eyes and even after washing hands good it still has to wear off. I need some more, but it had become such a pain to use I can't remember to tell Beth to send me some. It will be easier to get the Capsaicion from the drug store. Glad you mentioned the burning though. It could possibly cause some reaction to Kens eyes until his eyes are completly healed. He has both done now and will still be using the drops until after Thanksgiving. He's doing well except for being so very grumpy!! nothing new there though. He is still using the plastic eye cover at night. I hunted up a sleep mask and that has helped a lot. The tape was making his face raw. The mask keeps them in place better anyway.
Christina, Beth is so adamant (sp) about using ice instead of heat. I will hardly mention it to her. Be careful though, you can get ice-burns!! She had me using ice packs on my lower back at a time I was bedridden and couldn't stand for anybody to even speak in the room it hurt so bad. When I could finally get up and try to walk I noticed a strange feeling on my behind. After looking more closely I had iced off at least a layer of skin!! After awhile it gets so cold you don't feel anything. lol lol
Yes, old injuries do come back to haunt us in later years no matter what a Dr. says!! I have been a flare for at least 2 months now. I tried to talk to Dr. about it, but of course he thought I wanted stronger meds. I TOLD him I didn't want a decrease, just wanted to know if I could cut one in half. Where he got his reasoning is beyond me. After exrays to see if I had caused a fracture where Osteoporosis was so bad, caused by Scoliosis which WAS worse he increased my meds.!!
None of that makes any sense to me and I am still pissed to high heaven! I just continued to do what I had been doing. I can't make the pain go away, ever! I want to take as little as possible especially if it doesn't help whats hurting the most at the time. I think the rub may help whats hurting worse right now. I may just make a special trip to get some. It's bad today.
Yes Barque, the weather and barometer all factor in the aches and pains. This is a bad time of the year for me.
I wish for all of you as painfree a day as possible. my love, Jo
