Cleetdog, sounds like you and I are on the same time frame. The sharp pains are unreal at times. Mine travel due to no direct impact, but that tends to make it worse to me. I never know where it is going to hurt and quite honestly it's the most terrifying thing when it begins to hurt that badly. I've held my breath many times wondering what comes next, but it's never anything. Mine don't last long, some times it's just a pin prick pain and some times it's a bit longer but never more than a few minutes at a time, though they can be repetative. I'm sorry you're dealing with that though. For me, the ibuprophen 800mg and two tylenol rapid release pills (I should buy stock in them) seem to simmer it down a lot on bad days. That and getting cold, I am much worse any time it gets hot.

But I have ungodly headaches daily, sometimes I'm awoke in the night screaming and crying cuz I feel like I've just been stabbed in the skull. My memory seems to be that of an 90 yr old man (I'm 42)...after 4 months of physical therapy to learn to walk right again Im still not walking like I used to. I feel like I'm in a fog most of the time.
This happened last June. Its almost March now. I truly feel like I will never get better.
