Sometimes we cope - sometimes we don't. Fun it ain't. More [very gentle hugs] from me.

Synonymous Sat 28-May-16 19:20:43

And from me too! flowers Funny how we cope so much better at times than others and it isn't really clear why.

I saw the title of this thread, and thought whoever the OP is, thatbags could teach you a thing or two...sad

Life's a bugger sometimes, isn't it?

Feeling for you thatbags and hoping that tomorrow is better for you flowers

Oh B - so sorry the bloody pain is getting to you. Really hope you have some respite soon. x

I can relate as I can't walk for 50 metres without my bones grating against each other. Perhaps I may get relief from an op when you won't . Life is dreadful and I am housebound but I am many years older so you have my sympathy.

Sorry to hear you're suffering Thatbags. Hope you feel much better soon.

Indinana Sat 28-May-16 20:41:49

Yes I understand this. I'm not too bad at the moment, but there are days when, well you know what it's like sad
flowers for you thatbags and hope tomorrow's a better day.

Sorry you are having so much pain, Bags. I hope sharing your trouble with us helps a little bit. flowers

Hope you feel better soon thatbags flowers
It's a so and so, isn't it.

thatbags Sat 28-May-16 21:11:42

Thank you all, gransnet peeps! Yes, it does help a bit to have a wee cry and tell someone(s). I'm not good at that but when the temptation to take more pills than one should hovers around*, holding it all together isn't working! I really appreciate the virtual hugs and kind thoughts.

* Don't worry, I wouldn't, but the thought intrudes.

granjura Sat 28-May-16 21:14:11

so sorry thatbags- take care.

I've been in pain for 2 months since knee replacement, and I am really fed up with this- but I know it will get better. Really feel for you x

thatbags Sat 28-May-16 21:19:15

That's rotten for you, jura. I hope your knee eases soon.

My current overdose of pain is partly because of a flare up of arthritis in a knee. Having to compensate for not being able to bend it or straighten it properly has probably exacerbated the facet joint pain and fibromyalgia I always have. I need a grumbling hey ho emoji.

Sympathy with a vengeance!
It's horrible I know and learning to live with it (as we're told ) doesn't help, does it?

Marmight Sat 28-May-16 21:38:12

Bags sending you {{hugs}} and flowers although I know you have plenty in your garden! Hope the pain eases soon x

Luckygirl Sat 28-May-16 22:02:00

Oh - that's rotten. I do hope that the warmer weather will bring some relief.flowers
