I hurt 100% of the time! I’m not whinning it’s just a fact of life. But it is hard to do everyday things. People that I know just don’t understand why I can’t do the things I used to do. I have no one to complain to and I am now giving you your chance to vent and tell me about your frustrations!

Alan — Sun, 16 May 2010 04:25:39 +0000

Also I take tylenol and motrin or aleve with the pain pills because even when I take them I still hurt?
I have been referred to a Rhematologist by my Orthopedic Doctor. The ortho has me on Lorcet Plus 10mg and Neurontin 900 mg. Will the Rhematologist be able to do anything or offer any kind of treatment for pain relief other than meds?
