Well, Ladies, I thank you for all the prayers. They really made the difference. I can't thank you enough for all the prayers and good wishes.
Let's see, I went to the ER about two weeks ago. They did the ultrasound to check for blocked blood vessels in the leg as the pain is in the groin and upper thigh and buttock and hip. No blocked blood vessels. The doctor advised seeing my family doctor, but with a camping trip and the July 4th holiday, I never got in.
I kept hoping I would wake up pain free one day as I am truly a healthy individual. I have good habits, great diet, moderate exercise, etc.
So, the deal is that I had an infection in my toe that must have spread up my right leg. The doctor thinks it is like a woman with a masectomy having trouble healing. It has clogged the lymph node I have left in the groin area. We are trying antibiotics. I am praying this will do the trick.
Then, I went for xrays on the whole pelvis, hip and sacrum area to make sure it is not cancer in the bones. Got to cover all the bases here. I don't think so as the timing went with the infection.
Now, if I don't start to feel better by Monday, I will end up going to see the infectious disease specialist.
SO, the doors are opening, and a plan is set up. I feel better just knowing that. I am also going to try chinese acupuncture to see if that will boost things along. I like to cover my bases here. My friend will do the whole diagnose thing tomorrow and start needles next week with herbs to support after that. Maybe all of this will work as I truly want to be well once more.
I thank you all so much for prayers. Please keep me on your list for a little bit longer until I find out how it goes Monday. I appreciate this so much.

Consider it done Clare. Please take care of yourself & see another doctor if this gentleman doesn't take you seriously. Three months is a long time to be in pain. I hope you find the help you need soon. Blessings, Rhonda

Clare,
You are for sure in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the doctor can help relieve your pain. Maybe he needs a lesson in the golden rule?

I had my first acupuncture treatment. It was not painful, but it was intense. My whole left side I could feel the "qi/chi" and o nthe right side, NOTHING!! That in itself was very disturbing. I have blockage as well as deficiency. From the evaluation it sounds like 6-8 weeks of herbs and acupuncture three times a week. The couple told me I should feel better in 2-3 weeks anyway.
I still have lots of pain. I do thank God for pain medication. I guess the antibiotics are not going to be the answer. I am going ostick it out with the Traditional Chinese Medicine for a few weeks and see what happens. I hope I will not need the Speicalist then. If you ca n, please still keep me in your prayers for a little while longer.

You know we'll all be praying, Clare. Let us know how the Chinese medicine works for you! That's very interesting. And, hopefully, very helpful.

Clare, You most definitely will be in my prayers. Advice..... Go directly to your Oncologist. By-pass the local doctor. This is not something to just deal with. You have a history of cancer. This is serious and you must not wait around. Please don't wait. May God be with you and hold you in the palm of His hand. May he give you the wisdom to do what He wants you to do. God Bless you my friend. Linda
Remember me as a rose. |

Thank you for the prayers and advice. I saw the gyn oncologist in early June. I had an internal ultrasound and exam and PAP. All is clear. He did not feel the pain was related to any cancer issue. He felt it was related to the toe. This combined with the x-rays to check the bones satifies me that there is no cancer there. Also, it is all timed to the infection with the toe and right foot.
Still waiting to hear back about the Infectious Disease Specialist. the doctor was not i nthe office today, and the nurse was not sure which one he wants to send me to. Tomorrow is another day.
Thank you all for the support. I wrote in feeling so blue and depressed and in pain, and I feel so uplifted that you gals are praying for me. Truly this site has been a boost to me, and I thank you all for your firendship.

Ok, I have a date for the specialist. It is August 21. yes, I know it is a long ways off, but what can I do except go on the cancellation list. So many doctors left PA due to no cap on malpractice lawsuits.
It will be a blessing to be on the path to figuring out what is wrong and how to correct it. thank you, ladies for all the prayers. it has boosted my emotional sanity and helped me tremendously through painfilled nights.

Oh Clare: I am so happy this is good news about no cancer! I have been praying like a mantis over this since I read your first post. So now you will find out what is wrong and get the help you need. Do not take a vague answer from anyone. Make sure someone figures it out and helps you.
Love, Sheryl |

Clare, it is so good you do not have cancer. I had chinese medecine treatment and herbs for several bouts of liver mal-function, and it helped a lot. For some emotional help, have you ever tried "Bach flowers" remedies ? The RESCUE is specifically an ally of mine, just seems to soothe the mind away from pain. And it is made with flowers essences, and a drop of alchool as a stabilizer. You find it in Health stores or in some pharmacies. I prefer the drop bottle, easier to use. I give it to the cats as well when they travel or have to go to the vet. Wishing you strengh and long period without pain, blessings. Corinne

Hi, Corinne. Yes, I am taking a flower essence right now. It is my own personal remedy, made up by a nauropath after answering a slew of questions. Actually, since I saw her last week, I take less ibuprofen during the day and sleep better at night, the 4 ibuprofen before bed seem to work well. I never thought it might be the flower essence helping.
I am just grateful for choices and the blending of whatever works. My friend can't understand why the herbs are not dissolving the stagnation, but it is less than two weeks on them. I am patient. She can't get the needles in the right side still. However, the herbs are helping with some other issues I have had since surgery. So, all is good in my book. Any improvements is wonderful. I felt like I hit rock bottom with so much pain and medicine not helping.
Sleeping has been a huge help!!! I will NEVER take sleep and pain free body for granted again!!!!
