Can't wait for this day to end.....

Today, I was ready to shoot myself. I was up at 4am and the pain in my back and hips was so bad that at different times, I was ready to head to the ER for a shot of morphine. I tried heat, ice packs, sitting, standing, laying down, stretching and also took T-3's but nothing seemed to ease the pain.
Around 10am I finally took more T-3's but this time 4 of them and it finally made a difference.
I don't think I remember having this much pain since I stopped working. I am still quite sore but it is now down to a more manageable level.

Hubby and I determined that the reason for this was because yesterday I went out with a couple or the girls and I drove. Don't get me wrong, I drive all the time but only for a short drive to the store or DR. and back home. I have found that if I drive for any longer it causes me major problems because I can't sit in the same position. I haven't done this for a long, long time so I thought maybe things had gotten better but ............... NO!

I guess if there is a lot of driving to do....................it won't be me doing it.

Sorry to hear that you've been in so much pain. Get your doctor to prescribe T4's, they're stronger. Have you tried Glucosamine & Chondroitin & MSM or MSM on its own? Might be worth a shot.
