Sherry,
Sorry to hear you are feeling bad, I know the feeling. how do they know
you fighting an obstruction? I ahve been in terrible pain for about 10
days now, it is the same pains, but with the burning and pulling pain,
as you I got up off the couch sat. night, and my husband even was sh
oc
e
ked, three times my legs gave out while walking to the bedroom. This is
an awful thing we are going through and if they do surgery, we take a
big chance. Please let me know how you are feeling, okay.
is your surgeon telling you that he cannot help you, or do you keep
cancelling? I see my counselor tomorrow, I have not been telling the all
of the pain, I have been in, but I am going to open up tom.
Take care
Hope you are better soon!
