Paulie, sorry to hear. If there's anything I can do let me know. Glad you tracked down a doc and he's referred by the prior one so you can get back to what was working. Feel better, and do't let needing help get you down--it gives the helpers a chance to shine and feel good doing it. Gotta share that sometimes!
Well it went from bad to really bad,, the new doctor that I was referred to is not accepting any new patients
Now I’m extremely worried what to do now
Paulie, I'm so very sorry to read this. TBH; This sounds like maybe something more serious than just 1 doctor can handle. Have you thought about entering a residential treatment center (RTC)? Sometimes we just need to get away from life and all of the challenges, and hit the reset button on everything. This might help you do just that, while getting a handle on the medications that are causing you so much emotional distress.
There’s not much that can be done to keep the pain away, at bottom of my back have 4 bulging disc number 2,3,4,5, are basically shot, I will never do surgery on my back because high risk of winding up paralyzed
What a Knick in the ass this is. When your in your 20s n 30s you don’t think about down the road, you feel like you’ll be young forever and be as strong as you are at the time
WRONG boy I wish I knew my body was going to be like this,, would of made different choices,, but you can’t erase the past and have no choice but to push on ,, I went to work today clamming and had my wife put my boots on for me,, I’m gonna be 53 in November but I already feel like I’m 80 years old
From my back to my 6-7 knee surgeries, broken ankle twice same one, and broke my Neck once, then toss in the hips that throb in pain from years of body slams
And that’s my life now/ wish I knew wind up this way
Just a little update on my situation,, I’m feeling much better today, the best I’ve felt in a week I’m able to more n more each day,
What really helps me is reading all the post of support from my reef peeps, I’ve read every single response over and over again and the Kind words of encouragement and support help more than you would ever imagine thank you my peeps you actually help me pull through this and realize that I just have to man up and push forward for my family , bless all of you. Thankful for my community of reef peeps

Have you ever tried an inversion table? I love mine and get a lot of relief using it. Lower back is exactly what it helps most with. They can be found cheap used.
Happy you’re felling better today.
Glad to hear you are feeling better. It's important to stay on top of your health though. Like I said, see if the Dr. can all the other dr he refereed and have him take you on. I had an issue like that in the past where my Dr referred me to a specialist and that specialist wasn't taking new patients. He called them and they took me on 
Use the time you are feeling good to get the dr situation in order so, hopefully, you don't get as bad as you were or at the very least, you have someone to go to when it starts acting up again.
Also, I had no idea you wrestled! I laugh when people used to say wrestling is fake. Matches may be pre-determined, but the beating you put your body through certainly is not fake.

The fake part is that I know who is going to win at the end but I used to tell people let me hit you in the head with a steel chair when you wake up tell me how you feel and then tell me it was fakeGlad to hear you are feeling better.

Paulie, so sorry to hear this as I consider you a friend. I still have those chitens you sent me and they are living and smiling right in the front of my tank.
As you know my wife has MS and one of the symptoms is extreme pain. She takes medical Marijuana. It's a pain to get approved for it, here in NY anyway and I assume Jersey is the same.
It's an oil. You can't get high on it and it is very expensive so you may have to go clamming more often but it helps her sleep.
I hope you get through this fast. I know Humblefish was some kind of wrestler so maybe you can beat some sense into him.
If it were not for you, I would never come to this forum because only you and Diana read my stuff anyway, but I consider it an honor when you do.
I am also still thinking about those clams you made me.
Feel better my friend.
