i say “no, no, no”….
— i don’t want 2 go 2 rehab…
yesterday got scary. from 2am on I gradually lost feeling in my extremities until I was in a lot of pain and I could feel but I could not make my hands, legs, arms, feet move without extreme pain and difficulty.
bp was extremely high, at 160/120 something.
called 911 and spent the morning in ER strapped to the tgorture device aka back board.
tests came back normal but the crazy thing is, they did not do any scans on my ribs or back at all. Not one.
Gee, the area with the most pain.
Wasn’t hungry, got sick.
Went to Endocrinologists office and he ordered more tests, which I have up to 3 weeks to finish.
I need answers.
Back still hurts so much, even on Medication. BUT I have decided to make myself get up several times a day. Unassisted if possble, but with my walker if I need to.
Even sitting here now with my laptop… shooting pain in my back and legs. Must find a better position…
hope u r all doing well.
thnx 4 the supportive comment.

This doesn’t sound good Matt. They need to keep trying until they get answers. Just push as hard as you can to find a doctor that will work with you. My niece was almost near death, but they pushed hard enough and found out the medical situation and treated it. Shes better today then ever…and you can be too!! We are all here for you when you need a buddy.
So sorry to read of your struggles Matt. Keep getting some 2nd opinions until you find a doctor that’s going to find the problem, not just bandaide it with pain medication. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions… lol
Seriously, please take care and get better soon.
Huggggggggggggs,

I’m so sorry, will keep praying for you, Please take care!
I’m so sorry that you are in such pain! I hope you find answers really soon!
Hang in there Matt, don’t let the docs put you off. Get 2nd and 3rd opinions. Hope they can help real soon, can’t be much fun being in that much pain. Take Care
