I am right there with you girlfriend. As you know I am in agony too, its sure no fun. I did get a referral to an orthopedic surgeon so I am waiting for them to call me. I am so desperate I am ready for surgery I just want the pain gone. Have you tried some capacian cream? Its basically the hot part of the peppers but it does bring me some relief, it is sort of like ben gay but doesn't smell.

I hope you get to feeling better soon, I know its no fun
