@erikas and anyone else who can help! well things have stopped working but I did a Zoom with a psychiatrist who prescribed Lexpro and Trazadone for sleep. I also got a script for hydro at 10 mg which isnt doing anything. I am a mess right now after taking for a week with the pain, its level 8.5 all day for the last two. I know the lexpro needs time to help mood but really have nothing for pain. Taking 600 mg 3T a day of gabapentin back with nortriptyline helped maybe a touch so I have to try again. I have a celiac plexus block for 12/1.
My Mayo appt starts with GI on 12/7, I called yesterday and the person was very nice and helpful with questions. She said all of the clinic is running and I should be able to see other dept/doctors during the week, I hope that is true. I was calling hotels today and one mentioned the hospital is back to no visitors and cancelling some elective procedures. If tests are done are they done at the clinic or do you have to go to the St Marys hospital. I need pain relief so bad, if I can sleep that is all I want to do. Its hard to do my job even working from home now, my ab muscle wall from below my xiphoid to my pelvis is a solid block of pain. I am going back to see my urologist on Monday as it has been over a year and the pain doctor had ordered another CT since that had been 18 months. It did show "The pelvis, bladder wall thickness is slightly prominent but this is stable likely muscular hyperplasia accentuated by incomplete distention. No obturator adenopathy. Anterior end plate spurring. left femoral neck spurring possibly the sequela of repetitive impingement" My colonoscopy a few months back was OK. It hurts to sit too because of the deep pain at my waistline. I can't believe nothing touches this pain.
