another trip to the dr. for me and bad news....

[Kteacher]

I saw a specialist today as my hip just is not getting any better. He confirmed that my sacrum has separated and is out of place. I'm not supposed to do any lifting, bending, carrying...basically everything I need to do to get my classroom ready for next week that and the primary is in 3 weeks here in Ma., and I'm coordinating a campaign for one of the candidates in our town. I can either ignore the dr.'s orders and do what I need to do over the next few weeks or not do what I need to do and hope things get done ( ) Not sure yet what I'm going to do- I'm going in for a cortisone shot, and hopefully that will relieve the pain enough that I can get most of my things done

 

[Doctor P]

Hope your hip feels better very quickly.

 

[olena]

Oh no.....

***HUGS***

 

[C.Ann]

So sorry to hear this.. Please don't ignore your doctors orders though if it will cause some kind of long-term damage.. Certainly wouldn't be worth it and would probably result in an even LONGER recuperation period..

Good luck in whatever you decide and I sure hope that the shot relieves your pain..

 

[tc]

Please heed you dr.'s advice and take it easy. In my opinion, if it needs to be done, and I can't do it, someone will eventually step us and take my place. I just have to be willing to step aside. Take care of yourself. You're the only you, you have !

{{{{HUGS}}}}, prayers and pd sent from out west.

Wow I am sorry to here this.. it is a complicated diagnosis. I was wondering if the doc or therapist could put you in a type of brace that is specially fitted to restrict the motion of your sacral area...
I have fitted pt's with lots of different types of braces but I think your situation requires a specialty brace fitted by an orthotist. It might be just worth asking the doc ... just an idea..
hope you get some pain relief soon.

 

[Kteacher]

Thank you all for the kind words. The dr. was pretty strict with me about not doing things I wasn't supposed to be doing. Mama Joan- he wants me to wear an SI compression belt-is that what you were talking about? It's just so frustrating.... especially when I come back and instead of asking me how my dr.'s appt went DS asks me if I washed his football uniform

 

[browneyes]

Ouch! You've gotta be in a lot of pain. Take it easy, unless you're superwoman. {{hugs}}

 

[jx3smom]

I hope you feel better soon. I really think you should listen to the doctor. Honestly, why even go if you are not going to do what the doctor says will help you feel better or at least not get any worse? You won't be any good to the canditate or your class if you are in pain.

Doesn't sound like much fun! {{{{{HUGS}}}} and PD for your hip.

 

[Pooh93]

{{hugs}} and hope your hip gets better.

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

I agree with those before me. Lighten your work load and get in some heavy-duty healing and rest time. I hope you're better soon.

 

[KimRaye]

K, you won't be any good to anyone if you make your situation worse. Please listen to the Dr., there's a reason he told you what he did.

{{HUGS}} for quick recovery.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I do hope it gets better soon, Kteacher. {hugs}. Have your son do his uniform, good practice.

Ouch, I am sorry to read this. I would definitely listen to the doctors advice or you may end up in even more pain. Perhaps someone can help you get your room ready and work on the campaign so you can get the rest you need.

 

[helenabear]

I hope it does get better soon! Do what your doctor tells you please, as I am sure it will help Sending tons of super strong healing PD your way.
