Hi Sweetie, been a while. I agree with everyone. I get the connection. I think that is why my pain clinic has every patient on an SSRI as well as other meds for pain. If you are having nerve pain the meds like neurontin are very useful as are drugs like methadone which is less likely to cause psycological dependence as there is no high or low like with percocet. I hope you can get some help with the pain. Try a pain clinic. In the mean time do you know those boots with velcro many people wear after foot surgery? They make it so it's a big wedge. I wonder if just trying one on at a medical supply store and walking in their store would tell you if it is helpful or not. If it is get a script for it. Mine has been awesome. Just for kicks I will tell you that I was playing with a 4 year old and jumped and fell and broke my wrist. Clumsy gray haired women!
