Taylor, I know just how you feel. I feel like a ping pong ball! I had a very painful week-end. I don't know why or what causes the pain to flare up so that's it's so unbearable. Do I go to the ER or call my Dr.? No I tough it out. My jaws are sore from clenching them so much. Now my employer is sending me to a panel of 3 independent medical examiners Oct. 8. I was sent to one 12/18/01. They think since I had surgery 07/29/02 for adhesions that I should be able to go back to work. I don't know how I'm going to make these Drs. understand that adhesions cause pain, tremendous pain. Please hang in there! I know it's tough but find a reason to keep going no matter what.
