Hi Jack, didn't i read something in one of your posts that your doc wanted you to sign a paper to be able to give you more stronger meds ? might take a few trials, tiltering up and down, adding subtracting and all that stuff but hopefully at least they should be able to lower the pain to some degree that might in turn help the frustration of it all, which of course is not helping it at all.
good luck
Brian

Billye was not silly about the wallet. We would be in the car and my
husband would holler out with exactly what you said. His Dr. said get
that wallet out of your pocket. Granted it was just jammed with so
much stuff. He finally emptied it out,most to my purse. But the pain
did go away. Wow i really wish this would solve that darn pain problem
of yours,i know it's so hard,and upsetting.

And yes J, my pain is worst at night. Lately i have fallen asleep for a hr.
and wake up in such pain,i just keep thinking i have to go somewhere
and fast. Probably away from the pain,i don't know but it kinda scares you.

Cathie Bob is getting a epd. in 2 days,they do help,well for me they do.
Jack have you tried this, and take food or milk with that Ivuprobin,you
don't want a ulcer. Have you read that post A cold day in hell. I can
relate to some of it. Your wife may not understand the pain,but i'm
sure she loves you. After all read Cathies play. all Sue

They are probably US and IN or OF US!

Sue good luck with the epi's...they either work or not...it's a crap shoot isn't it?

Jack, well, all I can say is that if it were me...with pain to and into the groin...I would seriously re-think some spinal issues...not chiropractic...unless you can find a Chiro/Neurologist... Don't know about you, they just aren't in my neighborhood. And, I would only travel to someone IF and only IF the docs that I really respect and trust say...OK..

Could you clear up something for me tho? 'SI Joint Dysfunction?' I'm sort of in the dark about the 'SI' part..

Hope this helps! - j
