I had no idea you were in such agony, either, Donna.

I lived with a pinch nerve for 25 years off and on. The "on" part finally last 24/7 for 2 years. Even morphine was no help, nor were the cortisone shots. Unless you know the exact reason for the pinched nerve, don't go to a chirpractor, as it can do serious damage. As you know, I HAD to have cervical spine surgery or become paralyzed and it was 2 years in January, and the best thing I ever did. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a new life in that respect. I occassionaly get a tingle but it's nothing at this point. The recovery is more of a pain in the neck (pun intended) and so inconvenient but, honestly, time flies. It's nothing to mess around with. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Did you have an MRI??? That'll show the exact reason for the pinched nerve.

I don't know much about the knee, but I think I read about a new injection for knees (oesteoarthritis). Your doc will have a heyday with you. I'm so sorry. I wish I lived closer. Please call me if you want to vent or need a shoulder to cry on. {hugs}
