We all end up with pain, and some days we just need a place to whine about it, am I right?

Here's my whine for the day: my back hurts, my bowels are full of gas, I might be constipated, my feet are *shocking* (the type of nerve pain that comes in jolts...ow!), my forearms are the same size as my calves, and my boobs hurt.

Phew! I feel a little better now.

I'm letting that out too lol.
Now what to do about my tailbone... the darn thing is so hypersensitive, I can't even handle having the seam on my jeans touching it, or the edge of my cushioned toilet seat even!

Sorry to hear you are feeling so crappy Knight

...its good to have a good moan..and this is the perfect place to do it! I do hope that you start to feel a bit better soon.

I do think that if you can get your bowels in a good routine then the nerve pain may settle too. Full bowels may well be a trigger...maybe look into the peristeen?

With what money? My Medicaid won't pay for something like that, I'm sure of it. Hell, it took over a year to get them to pay for more than 4 catheters per month!

I can't tell the difference between bladder, vaginal, and uterine pain... this sucks. How am I supposed to treat my pain if I don't know where it's coming from?! Guess I'll try my phenazopyridine and, if it helps, I'll know it's my bladder. If it doesn't help, I'll know it's something else, and I'll have orange urine.

I wish they had numbing gel, like lidocaine, but in a pH balanced gel you could use on your urethra and surrounding areas.

Could you use lidocaine gel to lubricate your catheter?
