Severe back pain

I have an appointment with my pulmonary critical care specialist and maybe he will know if the back pain is from cancer or side effects of zometa infusion last Wednesday. Pain started the day after infusion. Even if he can give me some good pain pilss it would help.

Pray for me, I know God has the answer.

Thank you

Hi Ruth. I am so sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I can definitely sympathize with you, it is the most awful kind of pain. I have been dealing with it for months. I can "sometimes" get it under control and find some comfort. At our clinic, we have a few doctors who are pain specialists. Maybe your cancer clinic has something similar? One has tried to help me and that has helped somewhat. Better than anyone else has been able to. I am on lots of painkillers, but haven't had a comfort "buzz" in a real long time. Honestly, sometimes I think Advil deals with the pain just as well. I hope you find something/someone to help relieve the pain soon.

Just got back from doctors. The lungs are clear...good. Pulmonary doctor found no reason for pain in lungs. Went down to oncology and talked to nurse. She said we would have to consult oncologist before doing anymore zometa. She called my primary care doctor and he had me come down immediately. Lots of xrays of back and he said he may still want and mri. He wants to know exactly what is going on with the back if it is cancer related or not. Thank you Jesus someone is listening. He gave me "script" for pain medication.

Thank you all for just being here and understanding how hard this all is.
