thanks everyone, i started my exercises up again and it does seem to be helping, the pain is bearable now, so thats a relief,but would be nice to be gone, but that won't happen overnight,i do think i had a fibro flare up and that is why it was so intense, still hurts to do stuff though, hubby will have to do the hoovering this wknd, i was doing it and i think it contributed to my pain, so now i am gladly turning the job over to him lol
