Hateful thread??????? I don't understand..... Just a place to rant a little bit and NOT be judged. Sometime that pain makes me want to say FUCK!!!!! I'm glad I have a place I can!!!!!!!

I could just totally cry.... I had emergency surgery for cauda equina on mothers day this year (2009) and discharged from the hospital with NOTHING! I mean no rehab, no support, no follow up nada. I could barely walk, couldn't pee properly, wasn't having bowel movements, had wicked pain etc. Etc. I came home to no family doctor and a life of fear and unknowing? I then spent the next five and a half months going back and forth to a walk-in clinic that (thankfully!!!!) set me up with rehab and a physiatrist and have recently got a family doctor. Thank God I was a nurse before all of this happened or my bladder would've exploded I'm sure! (I self cath intermittently) I have recently (last two weeks only) started going to rehab but in the meantime I have become depressed and angry and hurt and bitter etc. etc because I have been dealing with non-stop pain and idiotic doctors who say 'Oh you should be happy that you're walking!' Like what?!! So many times I have staddled that 'line' of "is this really woth it to live like this?". F*#$!!!! I have gone to emerg and had nurses snicker and say that I'd be lucky if I get tylenol or advil for my pain - if I thought that that would help do you really think I'd waste your time and mine waiting eight hours in a fricking stuffy waiting room for something I can do at home?!?!!!! Double F*#$!!!! Give me a break!! Then there has been the feeling of being so alone. It was almost by accident that I found this site. In desparation I was looking for info about cauda equina (not a hell of a lot out there) when I found this site. I do have to say I hate to sound needy but after six months of being so damned isolated I could really use some support.

And relief from this pain would be F*#$ing awesome! Unfortunately, from the sound of it, I may not ever be pain free but here's praying for management? So far topamax (50mg) isn't helping too much. But its only been about two and a half weeks. Percocet seems to take a teeeeeeeeny edge off but really it more or less just calms me down not really helps the pain. And forget amitryptiline! That crap made me like psychotic yikes! Psycho and in pain =not exactly a great combo. Thanks for letting me vent. *sigh*

I am so sorry you are in pain and so frustrated. Unfortunately, you can find good ones and bad ones in the medical profession, just like anyone else. Snickering is pretty unforgiveable to me however.

You need a good pain management doctor. There are lots of medications that can be tried - neurontin or lyrica, savella, and of course opiates/opiods. A good pain management doc should be consulted, who can try different meds and combinations. Down the road, if medications do not suffice, there are spinal cord stimulaters and pain pumps.

My suggestion would be to try to find a good pain management physician as soon as possible - pain is easier to treat the sooner it is treated.

You do not sound needy - everyone needs someone sometime, nothing wrong with that.
