Wow, I sympathize with everyone now who ever said to me that their back hurt. My back hurts. My hobby is gardening and now, oh my, it hurts.
I've talked to my Nurse Practitioner and my Psychologist about it. My NP won't give my anything for it. She says we have to expect back pain as we age. I don't know. Why do we have to suffer with something that can easily be resolved? I can't take any of the anti-inflammatories because they hurt my stomach so much and I'm already dealing with reflux. I know the only other thing is to use something like Tylenol #3. I really feel that my NP won't give these because of my mental illness. She's afraid that I might use them to over-dose. I won't. I just want some pain relief so that I can garden and do normal house-keeping chores without being in pain. I see my psychiatrist next week. I'm very shy, but will try to talk to him about it.
