I know that you can do it!! Baby steps, remember that.. Rome was not built in one day.. You will accomplish all that you set out to.. It is mind over matter... You quit smoking that was very hard to do.. I know cause I have been there and done that... Set your mind and you will do it!!!

Janet what did he say about the knee pain? I am going for an ex ray on Monday, I went to bend a week ago on my right knee and it was painful still is when I bend. I fell in front of a store two years ago , at the time it didnt hurt. I was a smuck the police dept. was right across the street. Oh well!!

Feel Better!

You all are so great!! I am going to try to quit looking at the bigger picture....it's just so overwhelmng. I have been watching what I've ate the today and yesterday...writing it down so I can see it in black and white. I've heard it helps.

Today I'm in so much pain. I really am thinking it's that siatic (sp) nerve. Here it is Saturday, been taking the pain meds for 3 days...not helping. I took one of my husband's Loritabs. It just made me sleep, which was nice, but the pain is still strong now that I'm awake. I can't wait until Monday to get in touch with my Dr. again. I just can't believe how much pain it is.

I really appreciate all the support and advice. You all are saying pretty much the same thing, plus more, so I'm going to do the best I can to do as you all suggest.

Oooh, Janet! I'm coming out there! Don't you cry anymore.

That pain sounds a lot like sciatica. That's a bad pain. You can't sit, stand or lay down. I had it once and it went away and has never come back. It was from lifting my youngest granddaughter too much I think. Have you been lifting or doing anything different that you could stop doing?

One day at a time with the weight. like Gina said, baby steps.

I love you.

Judy, that is exactly how it feels....I can sit for a minute...then it starts hurting really bad, so I'll find a lying position..doesn't last long either. There is just no position that I can stay in for very long.

This happened before back in the summer when I bent over to let the doggies out of their crates. I did the heat/cold thing and muscle relaxers and it quit. Don't know what I've done to bring it on this time. I've got to find a way to make it quit though, I'll be calling the Dr. as soon as I get back from the route this morning.

Janet, i'm so sorry you're not feeling well. What are your thoughts on chiropractors? I was having the same exact trouble you are describing. I had gotten thrown through a fence by a horse & my pelvis was twisted & putting pressure on that nerve. My chiropractor fixed it completely in 6 weeks. It might be something to look into.

I've also been very happy with my chiropractor. She kept my neck and back from hurting with no meds.

Keep us posted, Janet.
