Looking for advice
Need some advice please. I've been having alot more pain in my lower back when i sleep for my so called 2 to 3 hrs after getting up im in so much pain i feel sick in my stomach and trying to get up to get a pain pill sems almost impossible. i asked my doctor what he thinks it may be he said change of weather will cause more pain. i'm in Delaware it got quite cold last week and my home town Pittsburgh Pa and New York received a whopping 6 inches of snow or better.
I love the snow especially the first snow its so romantic, but with it comes much more pain. I'm takeing roxicodone 30mg 6 times a day which my doctor is aware of he gives me plenty of pills to get through to my next visit i even have 20 left from the last script so i know im not over doing it on the pills,the pain eases for a about 5 hours and the crazy cycle starts all over again. If you read my profile you'll see ive copied my m.r.i report on there,i have to get another one soon since i feel last week my right leg just gave out and down i went 5 steps, so i just hope i didnt cause anymore damage.
ok anyway, i just wanted to know if there is anyone out there who can relate to me?
thank you your friend>>>>>>>>>>> Rob.
As a fellow pain sufferer, YES, the weather change from warm to cold itself can cause your pain to increase. I'm sure you already notice you have become a walking Barometer and can tell when it's going to rain before the weather man does.
The same thing applies for most pain sufferers in the weather change department.
I have too noticed that since it has cooled off, my pain level has gone up considerably from what it was only two weeks ago when it was still warm and in the 80's.
I live near Louisville, KY and our change has only just begun so I actually expect even more pain than what I have now.
This is not in your mind. This is your body telling you the weather is changing and your level of pain going up is very common. You are not alone at all.
