Re: Progress Report: What worked what didn't

HERE'S WHAT HAS NOT HELPED:

Cortisone shots: 14 during the past 2 years
Orthotics
Physical Therapy....stretching and ultrasound
Anti-inflamitories.....they tear my stomach up.
Pain meds.....they make me too sleepy to function.
CRYING. :-(

WHAT HAS HELPED:

NOTHING!!!!!!!
I tried an antidepressant called Limbitrol, and it worked well for about a month.....then it stopped. I was really beginning to feel like my old self. Then the pain came back.

WHAT I PLAN TO TRY: the magnetic inserts, and the "Pain Free" by Schiff with Chondroitin.

I sure wish that there was an acupuncturist around here.....the closest one is in a town about an hours drive from here....Too far when you have too many responsiblilies daily working full time and have a toddler.

I sure wish you all a speedy recovery....I wish someone would come up with some type of cure....Dream on!!!!!
