Answers:
Lauren, my heart goes out to you!. My son recently got back from Iraq!. The stress with your husband being gone could be increasing your pain level, too!.
However, if you're on pain pills, they make you a bit loopy and you wouldn't be able to care for your daughter either!.
Ask your doc about alternatives for pain vs!. pain pills!. Ask about going to physical therapy or what exercises you could do!. See a massage therapist!.
Unfortunately, pain is subjective!. No one can "prove" they're having pain!. And when you're in an MVA it just makes them suspicious that you want to sue!.
So, seriously, try asking about alternatives, they just may help!. PT, or MT, ex, or even a steriod injection!.
Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pain is subjective, something that you describe that cannot be measured!. In medicine, if it cannot be objectively measured, it cannot be proven!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well doctors are very funny about prescribing pain killers so shes right unless there is proof your not getting any narcotics but Ask her for Tramadol!.!.!.!.!.they dont consider tramadol a narcotic however it does have the opiode factor in it and Im on them right now for fibromyalgia and they help me tremendously!. They can make you feel sleepy or a little floaty!. Tramadol is ofter used for drug addicts to help them during detox!. I assure you that if you suggest tramadol she shouldnt have any reason to say no!. My doctor gives me 100 of the 50 mlg every month!. Just say ive been researching pain medicine and I found something that may help me!. And she should have no reason to turn that down being that Tramadol isnt considered a narcotic however they are narcotic likeWww@Answer-Health@Com
