Ok. So I have had a pretty bad shoulder/back for quite a bit of time. Lately it's flared up. I went to the doctor today because I was worried that it might be something more b/c my abdomen also hurt. She gave me some meds and told me that I was ok. (she took urine, blood and poked me a bit) I have two things that are provoking anxiety:
1. For all of you who have suffered lower back pain. Has it ever wrapped around to the front? Like my pain is in the same muscles as the muscles that I would use to do a sit-up.
2. She gave me Naproxen 500mg, but warned me that it pretty rough on the stomach, so she also gave me Nexium. When I read the warnings for Naproxen, it freaked me too much to even want to take it. Plus I also take Effexor XR and my biggest fear is something is going to always interact with that. I have Xanax that I NEVER take because of these fears.
I get very frustrated at myself because logically and intellectually I know all the answers, but my brain is making me fear these things. I'm in a bit of a mess right now and would like some reassurance/insight on this stuff. Thanks a bunch guys. :blush:
