Topic: RE: Arthritis pain is depressing
Thanks for the zap, Krista. My surgeon says we can never take anti-inflammatory drugs anymore because they can cause an ulcer. I am better - thanks. Good news though, I found out that I can take a Kenalog (some type of anti-inflammatory) injection once a month if needed. Tylenol is only thing we can take for pain, etc.

Sorry you're hurting Joyce, arthritis pain definitely does NOT feel good! 
I hope you are feeling a little better today! Pardon me for being nosy, but why can't you take your arthritis medicine anymore? Is there something else you CAN take? Hang in there, hope things start looking up for you soon!

THANKS FOR STARTING THIS FORUM. Suffering from Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, Osteoarthritis, and Osteoporosis, I felt I had a good list of co-mobidities for WLS before I even started thinking about the heart, cancer, and diabetes issues. Now, I'm 2 months out...12/8/03 -40lbs (not as great as I had hoped)...one complication w/bacteria that had me readmitted to hospital.Having overcome that, Iwas cleared for formal exercise. The day I scheduled to start Curves, I suffered 2 compression fractures in my back. Thank God it was AFTER surgery.
SOOOO...Imagine how much weight I would have gained with 3 weeks of viritual bed rest?
Another temporary setback.BED REST, PHYSICAL THERAPY, PAIN CLINIC, BONE SCAN AND BONE DENSITY TESTING. Now, as in my WLS team effort, the TEAM now has to find a different medicine(after 6 yrears of unsuccessful absorbtion) and a different approach for me.Any helpful hints of how you overcame your setbacks appreciated
And, yes, I now have double concerns about absorbtion.

Topic: Arthritis pain is depressing
Hi,
This past Saturday, I painted a small bathroom. Then on Sunday, I tried to clean some cabinets in the kitchen and experienced a burning, severe pain in one of my finger joints and elbow. I just had to stop the cleaning. I know its because I can't take my arthritis medicine anymore. I had hoped to start my spring cleaning, but at this rate, who knows how long it will take? I'm 44 and I wonder if this is only the beginning.
I am at work today and it hurts to type or use my mouse. This does NOT feel good.
