Have you ever had epidurals? They helped me in the beginning before my condition got serious enough for surgery. I also took a 10 dose of steroids for inflammation. I hate them but they helped a bit. At least it's a temporary fix to help ease pain.

I need 2 hip replacements too. I'm putting THAT off as long as I can tolerate the constant pain.

I hope the docs find something to ease your agony. I'll be thinking of you.
