Showing Original Post only (View all)Holy cow. For some reason, I aged 20 years today. [View all]
Severe bone pain in just about every part of my body. Sudden onset.
I've been fairly physical lately, but nothing that would cause this.
Severe pain, like morphine craving pain. Can barely walk, can't even bend down to pet the dog.
I have a ton of opiates here, but I'm not going to take any. They constipate me...I'd rather bear the pain.
I can't tell you how bad this fucking sucks. Wait a minute, yes I can tell you! That's why I'm posting it!

Any reason you might have injured your coccyx ? I suffered a pull to my coccygeal ligament picking up a piece of paper.

I don't recall that they did. OTOH, I had no other health issues, and was (reasonably) young and healthy. nt

You didn't just STOP taking opioids today after having taken them the past couple of days?

Personally, I would head straight to E.R. or call 911 to come get me. Pain is a message.

Thank you. No...I drink 2 liters of water a day, plus 2 huge mugs of decaf.

Re: "Sudden Onset" - but this weekend you did say you occasionally couldn't walk without screaming...

I know your pain, LC. I feel like that most of the time. I grin and bear it or take tylenol sometimes.
