But, went to chiropractor to get relieve. Well, it did I thought. Except for a pain in my hip. Well, just learning from a MRI a month ago that I have the bulding disc. On top of this I also have fibro. So, it is really painful. My neck sometimes can really be very uncomfortble from the fibro. I go in next Tuesday for a spinal injection to give relief with the nerve. I am really not sure what this is for or how it is done. If this and PT does not help the neourolgist wants to do surgery. I try to wait to save that for last. Can someone give me help or understanding. I have not worked in several years. But, now I can't even do regular housework. Please I hope someone can help me.

I go to other groups but they just not reply to me. I hope this group will help. I am really all alone even if I am married.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SMALL STUFF.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR THAT
