Pain and being unable to sit

Mimm, what painkiller do you rub on your hip? It’s probably toxic, but sometimes I would risk it to get some relief.

About my chin,...I shouldn’t even get started because it makes me mad. The accident was four years ago, and the hospital that removed the rock in my chin last week was a completely different one from where they had saved my life. So “they” weren’t the same people this time. Anyway, what’s infuriating is the little session three doctors had with me before the surgery,...telling me that what was in my chin “doesn’t matter” and that it isn’t “hurting anything”. That it isn’t “going anywhere” and hence “poses no risk to leave it there”. Grrrr Grrr and double Grrrr. Plus, I had something else in the back of my neck that hurt like the sharp pricks of a pin. I’d had this since the last part of my stay in a nursing home, three years ago. I’ve always guessed that it was a tiny sliver of glass. When they removed it, it was encased in a pink capsule that my body had created around it,...so I still don’t know what it was.

I’m glad to have the debris removed, but I was discombobulated to be told how “unnecessary” the surgery was. The main doctor giving the little speech made reference to the fact that many people have large pieces of shrapnel in their bodies that stay there for the rest of their lives. As I said,...Grrrr. I responded by telling him that I paid $2000 to have my mercury (tooth) fillings removed,...$500 per quadrant. This was met with silent, blank stares from the three young doctors.

I have just been through two weeks of being unable to sit. it's the longest time I have been in that state. I felt life as I knew it was over I mean what can you do if you can't sit. It's such a worry you don't know how long it will go on for. We are going on holiday in three weeks and the flight is four hours long and I was thinking how will I manage but things are improving now. I found an increase in my gabapentin was the only thing that helped suggesting it was nerve pain.

What caused the sudden pain for you to be unable to sit did you find out ?
