Hi - I’m Kathy - currently at a 10 with pain and making me nauseated - I feel like I should go to the ER. Started with sciatic nerve pain and pain that radiates to my left shoulder and down my arm. I had a nerve ablation on upper neck. I feel like ever since..pain all over and getting worse. Currently having calf pain and arm pain and sick to my stomach. I have IBS, bulging discs, joint pain and now this muscle pain that is beyond. Advil is not helping. I’ve been diagnosed with CSS and going to do a program but not sure what to do until that happens. Also have Osteopenia and arthritis. Been to so many doctors. This pain is so bad, I almost need to go to ER but not sure what they will do and I don’t want to go on Oxy. Scared and hopeless

Have you considered going to a pain specialist? They know how to treat these conditions and there are other modalities that don't always include pain medication.

If you go to the ER, there is a chance you might get a group of physicians to get together and discuss your case. That might conjure up some ideas that could help your situation. If your pain is that bad, why not consider oxy if it becomes a viable option. Especially if it might bring your pain down and make life bearable again.
