Hi Jerre,

 

I hope when you get those tests back they'll find the problem and get it taken care of!  I'll cross my fingers, send you positive energy, and say a prayer. 

 

With Love,

Hi Dave!   I'm having the bone scan tomorrow but they told me it didn't involve a tube...ha!  I don't mind the enclosure having an MRI, but I have too much body to squeeze comfortably through an MRI tube!  I'm just hoping they will diagnose something that can be fixed or at least treated!  I cannot continue taking 6 pain killers a day just to exist.  Please cross your fingers that it isn't a result of our increasing age....As I turned 52 this year.  I will let ya'll all know the results when I get them.  I assume it will take a few days to get the results back.   I am also in good shape for the shape I'm in (9 years post)!   Love ya back, Jerre   -------Original Message-------   From: David K.

I'm looking for someone who can tell me what is wrong with me.  For several months I have been having pain in my left knee and hip.  It has progressively become worse to the point it is not tolerable.  I am taking Hydrocodone 5mg/325 for the pain now.  The doctor thought maybe it was neuropathic and gave me some Lidoderm patches to try.  That didn't do anything for it.  So next he took x-rays of my knee and hip from every direction imaginable.  They showed nothing except poor bone density (big surprise..haha).  So next Monday 10/25 for another bone density test and a full body bone scan.  I have no pain when I am in bed, but when I am up in my chair it is really bad.  My left side is my weak side and I tend to lean that way when I'm in my chair.  I'm wondering if it could be connected to the way I sit in my chair.   Has anyone else had similar pain?  I am desperate for a diagnosis and treatment.  I don't like taking the pain pills everyday but I just can't handle the pain, and I have a pretty high tolerance for pain.  HELP!!!   Jerre       ****all some people need is a hand to hold and a heart to listen****   Jerre K.
