I think we all could use a Tabatha (from Bewitched).....a twitch of the nose & everything is finished.....or the jeannie (from I Dream of Jeannie).....a wink & nod of the head & everything is done just the way we want it......I know dream on......we deserve it don't we?

The only major pain I have ever had was my migraines which were 24/7 for about 4+ years. The pain was over a 10 on the pain scale & would only go down to a 4 when I would get a demoral shot (200mg). After my neck fusion surgery (which they thought would fix the problem), they found that the fentynal patch was a good start for the pain, but only part. I couldn't even explain what happened as break through pain because it was always there anyway until they doubled the level of fentynal I was being given. Been on that for over 2 years & wow.....not a migraine since. That was when I realized how wonderful you can feel when you aren't in pain. I hope you can get your back pain fixed soon or at least get the inflamation to go down so you can get some relief.

A pool would be great yes.....the best way to exercise a sore back....maybe you could get a prescription for one from your DR????lol

Hope you are feeling better soon,
Debbie
