Hi I'd just like some advice and to have a good old whine really.
I have an MRI scan on Thursday because for the past two months I have had a worsening sensation of pins and needles and acute pain in my right ankle and calf.
I have had a test for a DVT, luckily it was clear. However the pain is now so bad I am on a combo of morphine, diazepam and amitryptilene (sp?). My whole right calf and thigh are in constant agony plus my back.
I'm probably getting about 2/3 hours sleep a night despite an increased dose of morphine, as nothing is working. Everything is a struggle, I'm exhausted and at my wits end.
My GP thinks it mightbe sciatica related, she is baffled.
I'm working, because I have to, but the lack of sleep and constant pain is starting to effect my work. I'm feeling guilty because I am having to rely on my DP so much, although he is wonderful.
Sorry for the long, self indulgent ramble. Just needed to vent. Can anyone share their experience of a similar condition?
Thanks
