Anxiety about Back Pain
I am so anxious about the back pain and the head pain!! I am so drained with my back pain it is so miserable and the head pain I am already using a walker and wheelchair so I am scared soon I will be totally paralized and I will be in worse shape then I already am!!
I had brain surger in august of last year and my back pain is worse then the brain surgery I have had a bad back for years but tis gotten so much worse I am suppose to be seeing two new doctors soon but I am so scared they will say the brain tumor is back and the your back is totally shot and we can not help you!! I ask people about their backs and they say they have to suffer through and that surgery did not help them at all or they were made worse by surgery!!! I dont want to feel like this anymore I want to be able to drive and walk!! I do not take pain meds because that really solves nothing in the long run.
Any suggestions?
Thanks , TyedyedButterfly
@Tyedyedbutterfly65 I'm sorry, you really sound very afraid, in pain, and like you don't think it can get better again.
What I have learned about pain medication is that it can prevent pain from becoming difficult to treat, as the body gets used to the pain being there when it's not treated. Also, it can give you a little break, a pause to gather your strength again. I can understand, though, that you hesitate to use it, as it does not provide a solution to the underlying issue.
I wish you all the best, and I hope that you will get the help you need as soon as possible, whatever the cause of your pain is right now.
