hello everyone

I just wanted to let you all know im doin a litle better with my back now my hip is what hurts so bad. so im still on bed rest and i have to loose 2 inches in the waist to beable to get a mri done just to tell whats wrong with it, i feel like it might be fractchard but my dr says its siatica so who knows ,,, please pray for my hip ,, it hurts so bad, love ya all and hope you all have a good weekend!!

Benny there is an open MRI place in Springfield. that you can be bigger and still have an mri done. have you doctor call and find it for you. So sorry if it is siatica that is painful i know i have it too. sometimes it flares up and nothing you do helps . It just plain hurts. for me bed rest seems to make it worse. use ice packs on it to reduce the inflamation as much as possible and take some sort of antiinflamatory. like ibuprofin. dont know what i will take when and if it acts up now since cant thake that. i guess tylenol . So glad you write to us once in a while. we miss hearing form you. are you still on for Dec 11 for surgery? you will start feeling so much better once you get that done and get to losing weight. Jan

Benny, I have hip pain too so I know what you are talking about but mine is not nearly as bad as yours. Like Jan, not moving around makes mine worse, but I know others who have to do bed rest so it is very individual. See if you can't get to come to Springfield for the open MRI. You need to know for sure what is wrong. Hope you can have your surgery in December. Know it will help your pain and change your life so much for the better. Hugs to you. Lana
