Did you manage to speak to a pain specialist today?...plus i'm pleased the birthday party went well and gave you a better feeling, being surrounded by loved ones helps and puts your mind off what's going on with yourself.
Please let we know how you go. Terri :)

My oldest daughter will be 17 in May. She helps me out so much, at times she is like his second mom. I am going to call a pain specialist today. The birthday party actually did me some good. With everyone here I didn't concentrate so much on how bad I was feeling. I woke up Sunday morning almost pain free. If only there was nothing wrong with my stomach I could of had a completely pain free day yesterday. Not the case today but I always say it could be worse.
Honestly I took advantage of feeling half way decent today and cleaned my butt off. It never fails but when I'm down for more then a day it seems nothing gets done around here. There is 5 of us here and that is a lot of laundry. I can't do it all in one day but I try to do as much as I can. I have set a reminder on my phone to call tomorrow.
Yes TERRI I'll let you all know if it helps. The info I am readind talks about how it heals with deep tissue heat, more than just a hot pack could do. I decided to buy one for $25. It would cost more than that to go to one physical therapy session to see if it works. I can sell it to someone else if I don't like it. It also has different settings to tighten skin and to dissolve fat or take care of acne.
LYNN--THANK YOU for pointing out that ultrasound machines are sold on ebay! I've wanted to try an ultrasound therapy home model for so many years. I am getting one with sticky pads to put on 4 different places so I won't be holding and massaging for hours at a time.
You're very welcome, Sheila! I hope it does work. By the way, to make the pads last longer, clean your skin with alcohol if you can and always put the sticky pads back on the plastic piece that they came on. If they don't have one, get something that you can easily store them on. I have so many pieces of medical equipment. I wonder if I have one of those! LOL (I don't think so, to be honest).

I just hope it works for you...they have physical therapy sessions besides other's at my doctor's done seperate from the NHS but the prices are disgusting for an hour as much as £25 up for what you want...but at least you'll be able to sell it on if it does'nt work :) xxx
I recently suffered from Sciatic Nerve Pain symptoms. My pain was so severe that I couldn't walk. Anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxers did not work for me. My doctor referred me to an Orhtopedic and Spine surgeon who suggested strongly that I get epidural injections and consider surgery.
I don't know about you, but I have faith in GOD, and I pray firmly. I did some research online about Biblical scriptures on healing. I wrote down some of my favorite scriptures on paper. I wanted to acutally learn these scriptures because there's a part of a scripture (Joshua 1:8) that says that we should meditate day and night. I thought, how could I meditate on GOD's word if I don't know it. Well, after learning these scriptures on healing, I decided to turn them into a prayer. I started to chant this and pray throughout the day.
I went from bed-ridden, to crawling around, to walking with a cane, to being able to work again. I will admit that I still feel some discomfort, but GOD has truly blessed me. I am still chanting and praying. I am also taking Homeopathic treatments, and I have an appointment soon to try physical therapy. I just thank GOD so much for allowing me to feel good enough to go back to my job!
I want you to know, that GOD is able. Jesus said "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18) This is good to know!
