Hi again ~ I certainly understand her pain ~ I have a deteriiorating spine, as well as severe osteoarthritis, so while the back/hip/legs are very painful, so is the rest of me! I do take opiates for pain relief, but am severely undermedicated as the doctors in this country are terribly afraid of the powers that be. The government has a bad habit of putting their noses in where it shouldn't belong, thus making it difficult for doctors to do their job.
Consequently, we chronic pain patients suffer needlessly because of thugs out on the street! Go figure.

My heart bleeds for your daughter. I'm 61 and have had this since 38, but not as severe. I've been able to live a good life. Bless her heart, she's still so young! She's in the prime of her life, and should be enjoying it. It breaks my heart to hear stories like this. Please let her know that my prayers are with her and I will be praying for her ~ and you as well. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
