• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I have had so much pain today. Starting at dawn, when I woke up with a muscle spasm in the leg with my tendonitis, and it triggered a spasm in the tendon area of my foot. I woke up screaming in pain. I am praying for a miracle for this pain to subside and not be so problematic tomorrow. I am ready to head to the emergency room if it does not.

I am scheduled to see a new orthopedist on Thursday. Actually, he did knee surgery on me a long time ago, and I trust him much more than the guy I saw two weeks ago. I also have an appointment with a pain management specialist as well. But that is not for a few weeks.

I just can't function when I take a step and have shooting pain throughout my foot. Tylenol is not working. Tonight I almost went to the liquor store to buy a bottle just to get through the night.

Thanks for praying.

Trish

Hope you are feeling better Trish!

This is the hard part of recovery, the ability to feel pain. The thing we hate, right?
Hope your doc is able to help you.

Thanks for the prayers. Actually, these physical pains top anything I have experienced thus far.

My group therapist said that we are not martyrs, and that if necessary pain meds are sometimes indicated. I just do not want to be accused of seeking them.
