I am so glad you are able to make these decisions...it is important to be able to have the options for treatment.

I have a suggestion for pain meds in the waiting time...I started on it a few weeks ago and LOVE it for pain relief..not the only thing I am on....
but Zytram XL take once a day works for 24 hrs...is long acting Tramadol no narcotic that works on the narcotic receptors in the brain and only the pills you need for 24hrs...1 or 2 pills in 24hrs for tht relief is better than taking every four or 6 hrs for relief no riding the roller coaster just same supply of drug for 24hrs....anyhow just came out here in Canada one month ago!!!!

take care of yourself thinking of you!!
love and hugs,
Victoria
