Update from Rhi!

Hey, just an update. I went to the doctors today with new symptoms. My leg's gotten a lot worse over the past couple of weeks and I've been getting numbness etc. So as well as taking Naproxen and Co-Codomol, I now take amitryptalene (no i dea how to spell that!!) And if they don't work I have to go back to the hospital, where they'll tell me I can have the injections, which aren't an option. It's a horrible mess to be in at 17!!!

Dont give upon , there is no way that a 17 year old should be going through what you are going through. go to A&E and demand, especially with the numbness, have you tried the Gabapentin, mine has eased a lot since I have been taking them, they are not painkillers they just stop the awful spasms in the legs etc, take care speak to you soon

Haven't heard from you for a while, was wondering how you are doing, I have now been refered for the injections will give them a try and see if they make a difference. Have you seen anyone else since you last posted on here.

Yea, I'm alright... Starting work again tomorrow, but not because I'm better, just because I need the money! I have birthdays and Christmas to pay for!! :lol: No, I haven't seen anyone else sinse the last time... I went to the doctor, and he put me on amitryptalene (sorry for the spelling!!) and they're making me really hungry all the time, so as well as being in constant pain and limping, I'll also be rather heavier!!
Having the injections, eh? Good luck with them, and let me know how you get on! When are you having them? Is it a matter of days or weeks? Hope it goes well for you, you've been suffering too long for it not to! :wink:
Speak soon (and a happy christmas to you! I'm a child at heart and get excited mid-September!!)
Love Rhi
