Dont know where to start, just know that I have to let this out otherwise Im gonna go mental! As you know, I have just started to get over a bad flare up with my EDS - or I thought I was! I have even gone back to work!
I have a trapped nerve in my back which is causing tremendous pain going down my right leg - its so painful that it collapses on itself and I fall over. I have been refused different medication or an increase in pain meds as I am on everything going. I had to have my nerve medication reduced as it was putting weight on me. I feel like I'm speaking a different language or something!
Aaanyhoo, I went to see my physiotherapist today who offered me another course of Hydrotherapy, which does help but you only get 6 sessions at a time and a referral to the Pain Clinic for some pain management. He is also going to go and see my consultant as he cant give me any exercises to do as I am in too much pain.
I soooo want to be able to take Lewis out in the garden and play with him - but thats just not possible at the moment. I wanna scream and scream loudly but no- one will hear me. Im sure the doc thinks Im a hypocondriac - but Im not - honest - what is happening is very real! I keep forgetting that I injure myself very easily but I also dont want to cut anything out, if you know what I mean!!
Im sorry for whinging ladies and gents - there are a lot of people a lot worse off than me, and I am trying to deal with that. But I am only human......

Sorry to hear about your pain.
Have you thought about seeing a chiropractor? I had a trapped nerve in my hip last year and I saw a chiro and it was an absolute miracle cure. I know Madz has had sucess with seeing one too.
