I went to that pain management dr. yesterday,after he examined me and made me hurt oh so bad,he looked at my MRI,and asked me if the back dr. told me how bad my back was,He just said tons of arthritis....Pain dr. told me "this is REAL BAD',after he caused me mucho pain.he put me on some physical therapy for four weeks,before the pain shots begin.Got to go back on March 10 th.I was hurting so bad last night,I was in bed by 7:30,really.My blood pressure is up,dr. Said probly from my constant pain,had to adjust my med for that.SO,IM STILL HERE.......Pain Dr. Told me 'DO NOT FALL FOR ANY REASON,YOUR BACK MAY NOT LIKE IT!!!!'........I didn't tell him I fell in the garage last week on the concrete,HARD FALL,got up after a few not so nice words,and resumed what I was doing.....In Sunday school,we are studying the Apostle Paul in second Corinthians,wherein Paul was talking about his 'thorn in the flesh' he was afflicted with.If it was any kind of arthritic or back problems,I FEEL HIS PAIN,BABY,but look at what he accomplished,for God,wow......He is a GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO LIVING WITH ADVERSITY!!!!!!!
