You are so right, Gazzy~ it suckeths big time. I'm going to DeKalb tomorrow for the GTG, but even driving 1/2 hr today, gave me back and hip pain.
I had a steroid injection in my hip in May and it didn't help a bit. I'm kind of like you, at my wit's end. It's either be hopped up on meds or tough it out. I'm on the heating pad right now and my tushy is toasty.
Hope tomorrow is a better day for ya. If you find a magic pill/solution, let me know.
(oh, a little of the ''spirit's'' helped the pain last Sat night while we were camping.) So, I could turn into a lush to dull the pain.
