Thank you so much for replying to my post. (All my post) means the world to me that you have taken the time. I have reached out to friends and family trying to hunt down the patch to give it a try. Actually had a good morning but got cocky and went to the mall with the wife. Half way through the pain appeared and just got worse and worse. Had to cut the day short. Kind-of depressing that this is the way it's going to be. I am not that much over my ideal weight. I'm use to being very active. I hate anything keeping me still but the pain sometimes is unbearable. How have you been dealing with it for so long? Again thanks for your replies.
