Thanks again. The patch does help but still the pain is severe. I'll take any relief of course. I'm thinking I may have to keep an open mind of going to Mayo if they want to see me after they review my reports. Will see I'm trying to take one day at a time but like many of you know it is easier said then done. The distraction is hard when the pain is severe but when less I do see a more positive self of course. I do think the meds are screwing up my stomach that is for sure and the constipation issue. Will see I just want to find the meds for some relief to the leg and that work quicker. I hate the starting over and over again and fear of side effects and not working. Well thanks again. One moment at a time.
