The pain that never goes away

For those of you who don't know I had to go to Urgent care this past Tuesday because I was having difficulties walking due to pain in my hip. We were at urgent care 5 hours!! The person we saw immediatly thought my pain in my pelvic area was more important and ordered a bunch of tests. I tried to tell him that it was no use...but then again maybe something had changed..so i took the tests. When we (Karson was there with me) went back to get the results it was so disappointing. All the diagnostic tests always come back the same. It shows I am fine inside. I was so exhausted and had a huge headache that i was just in tears after he told me basically "there is nothing we can do". Karson came to my rescue by asking a bunch of questions. I told him what am i suppose to do about the hip pain, I can't walk. Of course Kaiser did what they do best-give me stronger pain pills. Everytime I am in so much pain and everyone tells me to go to Urgent care I think to myself-why? They did give me a pain shot that took most of the pain away but there has been no pain pill that can take away all of my pain yet. So now I am to take Norco which is a stronger narcotic then vicatin and percaset. Also he took me off of work for three days. I go back to work on Monday. I know my family is worried about me but I am getting through one day at a time. Not working helps the pain alot. Next I have an appointment with the Chronic Pain Clinic on March 9th. It is with a therapist first then I get to see the Doctor. Hopefully I will get some help there. We will see.

Hang in there Dez. The new system is right around the corner. In the meantime our prayers are with you and Karson. Hopefully you will be over your cold too, so we can come out and visit you both. Love you.
