Baclofen
Friday I was prescribed Baclofen. My friend Mike said that's what he's on and it really helps. Its a muscle relaxer and reduces pain and discomfort for nerve disorders, which seems to be what's wrong with my hips, they are getting worse than my back. But so far its not helping. I'm guessing I have to give it a few days, so I guess by Wednesday (which is probably when I'll be out of Vicodin) I'll have to give the doc a call if its not working. AND find out anything on the referal. Mornings are really really bad. Its unbelievable how much it hurts to get out of bed. Celebrex stopped working completely. And its gone so I'm not on that anymore. Spose I should call the doc on monday and let them know that I'm not on that anymore incase they still wanted me on it. 3 drugs a day, that would be wonderful. But Baclofen is suppose to do what Celebrex does too besides the muscle relaxing thing. My muscles aren't relaxed yet, but they sure are tingling from the Vicodin. I really like Vicodin, cept when I have to take care of Bayvin, or drive, or just plain do anything, cause I can't on it!
We got christmas pictures taken, they were so good this year! Cept for the nightmare of finding what to wear. But it turned out good, so I'm happy. We're starting after Christmas this year to find stuff for next year, to get it on sale and stuff. Hopefully I don't get fatter or anything. If anything it'll be a little big, damnit, I'm gonna lose weight soon as this damn back thing is done! They weighed me at 154 last time I was at the doc's office (um, 2 weeks ago) I at least want to get in shape and get these pants fitting better. I think about 140 would be good.

Have you tried etodolac? I get hip pain and use that and it seems to help a little. I am sorry you are going through this.
