Human purrs
*sigh* I hate doing this. It feels selfish. Unfortunately, my phantom
pain is not a cyst and remains a mystery. THAT makes me really nervous. So far it's not getting better. I don't know yet where we go from here, but since it remains a mystery that makes me much more worried about it. I don't care for mysterious pain; seems more like all those stories you hear. So any spare purrs would be welcome. |

The unknown is always more worrisome. What is your next step? What does your doctor advise? Certainly, I think you should see a specialist at this time -- but I also recognize that the next big question is, "what *kind* of specialist?" Now, that said, please try to remain calm (much easier said than done). Many of these mystery pains turn out to be something very minor that are cured simply by time -- and by relaxation, if that is at all possible. In other words, take care of yourself and don't undertake any more stressful activities than is absolutely necessary. MaryL |

Let's just hope it goes away by then. I have been getting massages because I am all screwed up in the back and neck (tension). But have a lot of work to do on that yet. Here's hoping. |

I'm really glad to hear that. You might also want to ask the doctor about a pain management specialist. My mother suffered from the most excruciating pain. In her case, it was caused by years of back problems (and 3 separate spinal surgeries), followed by a slipped disk and pinched nerves. She was also 85 year old! I took her to a wide variety of doctors, and they would show me X-Rays that clearly showed spinal damage. At her age and condition, surgery would have been impossible. Finally, someone recommended a pain management specialist, and it was like a miracle. He prescribed a patch that enabled her to have a constant -- but low level -- dosage of pain medication. Your case is far different, of course, and it is very important for you to get a diagnosis of the *cause* of your pain. Still, it might be worth asking about this type of consultation while you locate and deal with the underlying problem. MaryL |

So any spare purrs would be welcome. I don't remember reading about the pain and cannot find anything about it on the computer. I had such a pain that would come and go in the abdomen. I was examined for everything from appendix, gall bladder, ulcers, repeatedly over the years. Finally at age 47 it became acute and fortunately I got to the right doctor -- it was a twisted bowel that finally got blocked. He undid the twist and the pain has never returned. I also had a neighbor who had a persistent pain on the left side. Turned out her appendix was on the left side. I hope you can find the right doctor to solve the problem. Best wishes. MLB |
