I've considered meds for the pain..But have been trying to avoid them as long as possible since they tend to make me oh so sleepy (which I am most of the time anyway)..May still have to go that route, though. And the massage thing sounds good to me..Thanks MzB and Lady Express..MSAcorn, I hope you're feeling well, too. Thanks for sharing! As much as I hate to see anyone in pain, it's nice to know we're not alone..

Now, I'm still waiting for Jen! How are you feeling today, and please explain the "esophogus" thing you're experiencing..I'm really curious if it's the same or similar..
