Not that we have any answers for his bruised and swollen back, but the doctor has ordered up X-rays for that as well as on his knee... which is sporting a nice size lump. I am just now hoping that I can get an appointment for him soon, I called the hospital to book one and left a message to call me to do a booking.
I also saw the doctor and am also going for X-rays. The doctor is thinking it is possible I have a torn rotator cuff and that is what is giving me all the grief in the shoulder, if it is not that then she is thinking it could be arthritis. I am hoping for the torn Rotator cuff... that is fixable usually. I also had her look to see the cause of the shooting pains in my groin area to the knee. She is thinking could be a nerve or again arthritis. Anyhow it is hopefully tomorrow we will be able to get in and have the X-rays done and maybe get some answers.
In the mean time I am on some pretty strong pain pills, I took 2 as she suggested and last night I was way out of this world with them. Think I wont take them in the day time because I really can't function so well with them.
I did get a bit longer sleep last night... the past while I have been getting maybe 2 hours a night and last night I got 4... which is not a lot but oh did it feel good. I did however have the oddest dream... thinking that might have been form the pain pills.
Anyhow now is a wait til the technician calls me back to know if we can get them done tomorrow.
Have a great day all!
hugs,

Hi Lor
I sure hope you both can get in for those x-rays tomorrow so they can get you both to feeling a lot better.
Maybe try taking just one of the pain pills and see if that is better. I want them to find out what the heck is going on with you and your dh my friend.
Sending you lots of gentle hugs and fingers crosses for answers soon.
Love
Ah thanks Mare!
Hi Lor... Glad you got some action started, hope you get those xrays soon rather than later. Then after that, that it isn't too long a time till you will know something. It is hard to get the dh's to the dr, isn't it. Bill is pretty good but not all the time, lol. Keeping my fingers crossed something simple can be done for both of you. Love and
BIG HUGS...Free
Well Thanks Free!
We go tomorrow at 4 pm... so wotn probably hear til next week at the earliest... then the regular dr we have will probably have a look at them and decide what is going on.
I too
Thanks CIndy!
I dont think that the pains knew my age so they decided to attack...lol
I am 52 and oh yea I feel em alright... but
There are some excercises that people our age can do to help with the aches and pains of aging but how do you know which ones work? I know walking helps but when it's -5 outside I don't walk much. No gyms near me.
What about you know of any good exercises? Just for circulation, heart health, that type.
I think that what ever exercise a person can get in that is great...
good thing you got dh to go to dr....any results yet?
and what about you?
those pain pills can make for some wacky dreams!!
hope you and dh are feeling better now
hugs

It's to cold to do much walking outside. Someday I'd like to get a wii. Right now I run up and down the stairs and chase my dogs around the house. Maybe I'll try yoga. Can probably find some on tv.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
