Here's wishing the surgery helps your pain.....

Quote From: colt_66

It's not good news, I have to go back into surgery, my doc says that I have a lopoma, which is fat cells that have formed into hard balls, he will have to scrap them out, I'm hoping it turns out to be the reason I'm having this stupid pain.  And after I get this taken cared of I'm probly looking at knee surgery since I injuried my knee 2yrs ago & it's not getting better. at this point I might as well move into the hospital after all I've been spending enough time in there.   All of these health problems are depressing me even more, I wish it would all go away.  colt66 

    I understand (and read) what you are going through, but for now please take care of yourself!!!  If you are not well then you cannot get this relationship back on track (if it can and it should be). 

I am so happy that there is, at least, something they can do for your back.  Fingers crossed that the pain will be released by that and you have some relief.  Knees?  Well, I have many friends with knee problems (torn ACL/HCL from skiing).  However, physio does wonders and may I recommend if appropriate Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin..........it has really helped me (but I don't have ligament tears etc.,) I do, however, ski extremely hard and my knees have started giving out.  This has really helped with the pain.

btw; Glucosamine and Chondroitin are homeopathic yet should be checked w/dr and/or pharmacist.  There are options. Not all work but some worthwhile to look into. 

Cheers

it isn't good news but now you know why you may be having pain and it can be relieved, that is good. You must like hospitals and their food, if you want to move in there, LOL. How soon is he going to do the surgery? 

  

Have a good day

I also have lopoma.  It is very painful.  Most nights the pain can wake me up or keep me from sleeping.  I've had so much surgery.  I had endometriosis and way back then, they didn't have laser, so they just kept cutting.  I have pain now from adhesions, I think, but no surgeon will operate on me again, cuz they say I've already had so much.  My husband has had 3 knee surgeries and has steel rods in his knee.  Again, that was so long ago.  I've had cysts removed from my ovaries, hysterectomy, so many laperoscapies, I can't even count., my gall bladder removed.  But, I'm always amazed what they can do these days with the technology they have.  I know it is depressing.  Now, the drs are trying to figure out if I had a stroke with a seizure complicated by migraines.  So, it's a round of trips for brain scans, CAT scans, etc. I have full function on my right side again, but having complications from it.  I have alot of pain in my left leg plus the lopoma.  So, we are in the same boat.  When, you get weary, I'll row the boat for you & vice versa.  You are in my prayers.
