I hope you can help. I feel so desperate. I prolapsed discs in my back about 15 years ago. Mostly cleared up but was left with some pain and stiffness, always had to be careful what I did as it would hurt. Also developed fibromyalgia a couple of years later, think it was due to trauma of back injury.
But I tried to get on with life, always in pain but not agony. Fatigue with fibro and other fibro probs took its toll right enough.
Last November my back started getting very bad. Has not been getting better even tho I rested and did what I could. The last 6 weeks had been agonising. Back spasms started. I can't cope. Was put on naproxen which helped but doc had to take me off it cos I now have a duodenal ulcer. Am on pregabalin paracetamol and roboxin. Nothing really helps. Rheumatology sending me for an MRI. I don't know how I'm going to get in machine. I can't do anything at all. Not even get a shower. Am now so depressed. I honestly feel that my life is over as I have had to fight so hard for many other things throughout my life. It hasn't been easy. If any of you ladies has gone thru this and came out the other side would you please share? Thank you so much x
