Thanks for the up-date Sd hope things keep getting better for you.

i to suffer from many physical problems, a little advice................if you have ever seen a dog suffer from a injury it will just lay around and move very slowly, not over doing it. ARE WE AS SMART AS A DOG ??????????

Thanks Ed,..........Big Barry, I have heard of that.....basically that is what I do....I try to watch what I do and how, but doesn't always work that way.

Yesterday was my last for the pt at the center, they have me on a home based plan right now for a month to see how I do. If the pain gets worst for a couple days without residing then I'll be going back to the center for the pt. I had to take a couple pain pills today, but yesterday it felt pretty good.
