[QUOTE=ellengiles;4139183]Hi Ginaa,
I agree with Shinty. Your age shouldn't determine the intensity of pain you can have. I was 23 and was suffering from fibromyalgia which was the cause for the pain and also had joint stiffness, nerve pain, palpitations and was always tired. But fortunately enough I came in contact with the best orthopedic surgeons on long island and they understood my pain. They weren't like the other docs I had met who brushed me off saying you are too young to have pain management. The orthopedics in long island provided me with the best pain management sessions and my pain has reduced almost miraculously. I don't crib in pain all the time now![/QUOTE

Who are the surgeons you went to?
