Patience
We got this! Hope you relief from the pain!
Thank you the last few days have been really bad and I was in tears this morning and one of the nurses seen me and went and got one of the doctors. They lightly fussed at me for not seeing them sooner...
 
I feel like I should warn you guys. I seen one of the doctors here at work for my hip/back/leg pain and she put me on 15 days of prednisone and muscle relaxers to help with inflammation and pain until I can go see my orthopedic doctor. So I may be a bit over emotional and hungry all the time for the next 15 days.
Praying for a speedy recovery Amanda!

Well prednisone will make you feel much better. and we will see you on smorgasbord afterdark a lot over the next 15 days.

LOL I'm hoping the muscle relaxers will kind of counter act the prednisone so I can still sleep at night.

I stopped taking the muscle relaxers because they made me snore really bad being too sedated. still do pain killers though. but I'm healing. just slowly but at least I can walk fairly well again. This is the longest I've gone without getting another spinal tap for steroids so that's good. I think it was last June. but was almost every 3 months.

I had to do the spinal tap a couple of times after my surgery the last one was over 3 years ago I thinksurgery was a little over 4 years ago.
 
I've tried both Methocarbamol and Cyclobenzaprine and I just couldn't take the feeling the next day... felt like a hangover.
Cyclobenzaprine is what she gave me. I have taken it before but its been so long I can't remember how it made me feel. I think I'm weird some medicine that should make me sleepy makes me hyper instead.

I wish that was the case... it feels like a bad hangover like you're in the twilight zone or like you took two Benedryl.

Ugh benadryl knocks me out
 
anybody ever transferred everything from one tank to another, no travel, same room. I am changing the filtration. I can run the big 'ol hang on the back filters I have running now to make sure the biome stays good. i am just basically "pimping my tank"

I can't remember how many I had. 10 or 11. One of them was a double because the doctor realized he did the injection on the wrong side. was reading the X-ray flipped over. So had to have it done again on the same day. 😳

I transferred from a 26g to my now 80g if that counts.

I have moved from one location to another took about an hour and a half and kept sand, water, and rocks warm and wet and had zero issues with cycle crashing. I did add Dr.Tims one and only just incase.
