Well, she said she quit doing them about 2 years ago. That would have been about the time she was dx'd with a form of cancer that usually hits kids. I didn't know there was a difference with the types of placements you mentioned, I'm only beginning to check into this.

I do know she is not freely rx'ing pain meds for me, and that I can not continue with this pain. There is a major crackdown going on here on "pill mills", and that could be why.

Yesterday was one of those days when I couldn't even walk, and they are coming more frequently.

Thanks so much for your reply! More to think about
