I'm temp. in a wheelchair, and occasionally my tailbone hurts, from sitting; help?!?


Okay - I know that sounds weird. ;0)

In May of this year my husband and I were in NY and got side swiped by a city bus. I broke my right shoulder, my collarbone, my elbow and some ribs, I also shattered my right hip, knee, leg and ankle. I've had a right hip replacement and a partial knee replacement. I still have a cast on my leg/ankle - since there's four surgeries, there is a metal plate in the front of my leg and pins in my ankle (we got hit on my side, my husband was driving - and just for the record, he broke his pinky. that was it! lol). Anyway, I was given the wheel chair because I couldn't hold myself up with the crutches, not with my shoulder and everything. After all the surgeries it's just easier for the moment - that and my legs aren't that strong anymore, but I have PT four times a week. ;0) So I'm getting there.

It's like right below my tail bone, right about my *** - it goes numb and hurts a lot - like there's a lot of pressure. The few times I actually get out of the chair (I can walk around for small amounts of time - as long as I use canadian crutches or my actual crutches).

Any suggestions as to what I could do to ease some of the pain. I've heard someone suggest my sciatic nerve (I think I spelled that wrong) - but I'm not sure as to what that is - or how affected it would be by sitting.

Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you!

In case it matters: the pain is a pressure with pain, and when I stand up it's like a shock. It goes up my spine and will last for about ten minutes. The pain is intense though. It's like when you break a bone in the cold and then you go into the house and your skin gets warmer, you have that shock because the pain kicks in cause it's not numb anymore and the pins and needles from your skin heating up.

Does that make sense?


That makes total sense

It's not your sciatica but you are developing a pressure area on your sacral area.

The way to relieve it is quiet easy.

1) Massage the area and surrounding skin to get the blood flowing freely again.

And

2) Take as much pressure off the area as much as you can. By laying down. Changing your butt position. Getting a specialy designed pillow to sit on.

This will help a lot.

Get your hubby, unless you can see right around there, to check for redness.
If there is then start pressure care as above straight away as you are at real risk of skin breakdown and an ulcer occuring.

how would you react.................?

if you saw a person at a zoo in a wheelchair (from the zoo) stand up and walk over to look at something???what would you do and think???


I wouldn't react. There are many people who use canes, wheel chairs, or scooters to get around, but they can walk just fine. Usually though it is because they can not walk long distances without getting sore. I'm that way... ;) J/K The zoo is frickin' big. Go down the road into the Canadian section at Toronto Zoo in a wheel chair and then try to tell me that wasn't the most kick a$$ ride you've ever been on!!! LOL

meds for pain/chronic illness & IGNORANT people send hate mail,how do u respond?

FIBRO-INVISIBLE
Making the Invisible, VISIBLE!!
You slip the handicapped parking placard onto your dashboard and get out of your car, stretching as you stand up from the cramped car seat. The man walking by ..notices you parked there and hollers out: "HEY! You dont look handicapped to me!"he was only doing what he thought was right, BUT ...what of these diabled by heart problems, Fibromyalgia, MS, Seizures...and a host of other INVISIBLE DISEASES!?
Societe's awareness of visible disability has taken leaps and bounds following the anti-discrimination legislation enacted several years ago...THERE IS NO EXCUSE now for thinking htat people in wheelchairs are STUPID< DUMB< CONTAGIOUS or IGNORANT and that they dont deserve a good paying job!...
Unfortunately, the average person's views about INVISIBLE DISABILITIES and CHRONIC ILLNESSES are NOT yet so enlightened....HOW SAD! Suffererers are met with skepticism, rudeness, hositility and with being told that they are outright LYING or that they "LOOK REAL HEALTHY"Yet......they are going thru a LIVING HELL !!!
Why is societys attitude and accomodations lagging behind for those whose problems are LESS VISIBLE OR INVISIBLE?
For a start, simply because these problems ARE less visible. We always make first impressions by how we look, to get people to see BEYOND appearances is tricky. Society tends to want to ignore illness anyway.
It's easier to convince yourself that the sufferer is EXAGGERATING, or LYING! If you can not SEE their pain . It is much harder to convince oneself that the man in the wheelchair is just kicking up a fuss about not being able to get up the stairs, when ALACK AND ALAS ...the FIBROMYALGIA patient SELDOM can use stairs!!! or do what they use to deem NORMAL chores like cooking, cleaning, making a bed....or grocery shopping. It wears them OUT to the point of exhaustion!
Many invisible conditionsa are variable....The concept of "reasonable accomadation" of disability is TRICKIER with the INVISIBLE DISEASE...It is OBVIOUS the wheelchair needs a ramp...but how about the fibromyalgia sufferer who cant KNOW IN ADVANCE if she will be well enough to CALL 24 hours in advance to her DRS appt ? or the office ?
THINK ABOUT IT!
Fibromyalgia/FMS the INVISIBLE DISEASE


Be Thankfull! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis and Fibro, but last year the nice small disc bulge, ripped and I ended up with a prolapsed disc. Enter the Community Nurse and wheelchair, Back Brace, you name it. Driving, interesting, so I made an appointment to gain my Disabled Parking Disc and change the car to wheelchair accessible. Logical? Off I went to the major Health Service HQ, looked around, Public Parking too far away, so parked in a accessible bay. Sat their, I suddenly realized, impossible to use a wheelchair as they had kerbs around the bay? I donned the back brace, got my crutches and off I went. On arrival the door automatically opened and the Security Officer was busy texting in the corner, did not see me arrive. Before I even got the the Chief Medical Officers office, the Chief Medical Office told me I would not get what I needed! To add insult to injury, on returning to the car, they had stuck a large notice on the car illegally parked and clamped me, ready to tow away! So I telephoned the local Media and we had a ball! I never got my parking badge, let alone tax off a new car, moreover I am back up on my feet walking. Took a lot of time, Pilate's, PT, but I made it. Meanwhile I have now been measured for a electric wheelchair, so guess that means my walking days are numbered but for now I will keep going. Best of Luck

Are the handicaps of Sen McCain the reason he can not use a computer keyboard?

Boston Globe Reports: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoe. Did the Obama Campaign vet their information about Sen McCain before publishing their latest attack ad on him? Is this a MAJOR gaffe?

How about Sen Biden asking a wheelchair bound veteran to stand up for applause?

Who exactly is out of touch?!


I like McCain I'M a vet and I understand not being able to somethings. I was a halfback in football and ran track in high school. The service ended my abilty to run. I havn't ran since 76. But I can type. Sen Bidden needs a wheel chair for his VP spot. Obama shouldn't have gone down this path. I don't know how to say this. But Obama has to walk in McCains shoe to understand what this man is about. I don't think he knows what he is about.

    -Who would believe there are four billion stars? Also abstract things like numbers so large are hard to deal with in anything more than an offhanded way. Touching wet paint is easier to deal with. Plus I think that people like to touch wet paint anyway, it reminds them of childhood.

    Why do they call someone “late” if they died early? I’d like to stress that when no one buys a ticket for a movie they DO still play it. This sounds rhetorical but I used to work in a movie theatre and this would happen occasionally. If the movie is not shown it runs the risk of throwing off the schedule. Also if someone comes late for that movie (say 10 minutes which does happen) and the staff is forced to start the movie 10 minutes late, it will affect all other movies that day!
