Kera, yes a good dr. helps finally! I did get my results and they came back negative for colon cancer ect. but i am still confused as to why miralax isn't helping and when i go back to the rheumy he said he will help me as he thinks it is possibly IBS wich could very well be, but i hope whatever treatment i get can help with the bloating fullness feeling that keeps me from wearing even the most loose fitting jeans because i feel like a little old lady and i'm young. And as long as i don't over do things my SI joint isn't too uncomfortable in the back area but if i do irritate it i can't wear jeans ithier because it puts pressure in that area also at that time. The one thing that worries me is that i am wondering if hes gonna do a scan and see the bursitis of the hip and what to do arthascopic surgery. I had that done on my shoulder and results were awesome, but.. a hip isn't something to mess around as you neeed it to be mobile if you know what i mean! And or the knee, but maybe he can do an injection as well like you but i am not gonna do that anything until i have proof because i know that once you have them shot started you have to have them done every so often. The worst thing lately is i have been so depressed and i have been in councling but it's not helping and i have a high tolerance level to any meds and and the last one i started on i stopped because i wanted to drink socially every once in a while and it says no alcholol not just use caution so i am lost, i broke down last night with hubby and kids and wanted to die because i feel like such a failure and it's took me at least two years to get disability and two years to find a good dr. and at any age no matter what it can make you feel like less of a person and it's not like a councler is on call and you dial 24-7 so i have had a rough weekend and i just what to get back what i had and becuase it has gone on so long not sure if i will! Sorry so long been needing to vent since yesterday and boys are the kid well afew a more understanding today, but it starting with my 14 year old calling me a B**** and hope or should rot in H*** so i think it set the weekend off, he has bipolar as well or at the least mood disorder NOS so it's alot with a family of seven and for the mom to have all these issues with arthritis, and i found out that my dad had the scan done and found his body is full of arthritis so kinda a downder there too, but i am trying soo hard!Take care and i hope your rib pain eases up, and if it helps get the SI shot!
Love, Monkey
