Hope you feel better soon. Horrible to happen over the long weekend.

Hello there dear friend.

I am being referred to a Physiatrist. I hope I am spelling that correctly. My Family Doctor is sending me for a new set of Xrays and then on to this specialist to see if there is anything he can do by way of injections into the spine. My problem is that I have a literal pain in the rear end. It is such that I can't sit for very long without feeling tailbone pain, although I am sure that is where the pain is coming from.

It all became clearer when I had my hip replacement surgery earlier this month. I had to sleep on my back in the hospital  and being in bed all the time the pain became even worse. I can feel bones in left side, low back when I am laying down flat. Anyway I guess we need a diagnosis first but there is where we are heading now.

Pain Pain Pain this getting old is not for sissies. On the bright side I am recovering from my hip replacement really nicely. 

How have you been doing?   

Thanks for the info Mona,

I have a pain that is in my lower spine and causes extreme pain in the butt, if you will pardon the pun. I can't  take Nsaids and physio has not produced the desired results so a shot of Cortisone or perhaps some other drug may work. Anyway I am looking forward to some help with this.

Good Luck on the Opti!

They let me go home a day early today. I can hardly wait to sleep in my own bed tonight. I barely slept in there.

Awesome news Kelly, you so deserve your Moment in the Sun, Big hugs

Next Tuesday. May 7th Wooo Hoooo

I had my 6 month visit today with the nutritionist. All went well and I got a few tips. The nurse was off sick today so I did not get to see her but I had a great suprise. I met HeatherDnowM in the waiting room. It was wonderful to meet her.  I have lost according to there records 86 pounds in six month and have gone from a BMI of 54 to 40. 

I am happy!

It happens to me regularly don't worry it is just fluid retention,  constipation, not enough water etc etc etc . Just stay with your program and all will be resolved.
