I hope you can find something to alleviate the pain you are in, and remember we are always here for you to lean on in your times of trouble and despair,and of course pain,here's hoping you can get some relief soon and feel well again,thinking of you.HUGS
I didn't know that I had the same name as your daughter I feel better today so far thank goodness, I've had some numbing on my legs but maybe this is just something else I need to get used to. I can tolerate antiflam. but with the lap-band (it's a weight loss surgery) and some doctors allow you to take antiflam. drugs while others do not and mine won't let me so I have limited drugs I can take and while the tylenol is safer than some drugs it doesn't cut the pain.

I'm trying to take it easy and we'll see what happens.

Thank you for caring,
Melissa
