With me this all started in 1996,with having alot of pain in my back &legs,and my doctors never doing anything but giving me meds for the pain I was having. I had vien striping in both legs in 2001 to try to releave the pain and pressure in my legs well this never worked for me to this day I still hurt ,this went on until 2005 when I had to quit my job that I loved doing that was the hardest thing I had to do I had no choice I was unable to stand at my job for any long periods of time,I lost my insurance , so then we took out ins. on my husbands work. So with switching doctors I was finnily getting answers about my back pain and what was causing it ,the doc.ordered a MRI and I found out that I had two blowen disc ,bone spurs, artherits,I thought wow no wonder why Ive been hurting for so long. I have been going to the pain clinic for my back and getting back injections and they have done know good,and have not helped me at all,I keep going back to try to get help but I feel like nothing is working for me.
Also both of my hands are numb and they have gotten worse to , I had surgery on them in march of 2008. Then I saw a knee specials,they did x-rays and told me that yes I do need knee replacement surgery but that they were unable to do it because Iam over wieght, & to young , and Iam in alot of pain everyday and Iam on alot of pills that I dont like taking because Iam afraid of beening adicted to them but I have on choice because of my pain Iam in, they seem to help some times but not all the time.My knee doctor told me about the Bariatic Surgery, that was the first Ive hurd of it so I thought a bout over & over on what to do , so I went to a simanar to check it out and listen to the doc. talk,that was in may,I was still thinking about it ,not knowing what to do,at this time its june and I got very sad news on june 1, in the morring that my dad passed away from cancer, so know this even took me longer to decide on what to do, know its july and iam still thinking on what to do ? Iam not afriad to have the surgery done , its all about after the surgery and the not knowing on what I will be able to eat,I know that i will have to be on a liquid diet for a while.The thing is that I dont know if Iam strong enough to have this done,because of past times of me trying to loose weight weather if it was by a diet book, power walking,or wieght watchers,and just trying to do it my self, has not worked for me, because i fall off track and dont get back on. Ihave very low energy at this time and most of the time I have to have my legs eleaved,and Iam tired all the time and dont feel like going anywhereor doing anything.it takes alot for me to get out of the house,and most of the time I dont get dressed I will just keep on my p.j's,oh I forgot to mechen I also deal with depresion which is not fun. well I know that I have alot wrong ,Iam to young for all of this thats what everyone says to me,this is not how I want to live my life,because what Iam in is not living life.its beening locked up in my body with pain this has been know way to live, Iam missing out on life with my family. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND SURPPORT
