Dear Bobbie, My only advise is to try to take the least you can to get along. I know we are all addicted to something for spasms. Pain pills are an addiction you can fight with the rest of your life. The side effects are nightmares in themselves. I know the pain your dealing with and Hydrocodone only works when it is not to bad. I wish you the best of luck.

I'm going to see my rehab Doctor Friday Dec. 1 for a skin check on my butt and options with my syrnix. Any advice out there? Any do's or don'ts? It hurts the most when I turn on my right side. I can't turn on my right side because of my pressure sore on my right side AND because of my urostomy pouch on my right side. I also get terrible pain in my left arm when I life my upper body up with my floor trapeze so that Pete can boast me up in bed. Also, dose anybody have a really good web site for syringomyelia?
