Well, using the electrical current to kill the sacroilliac nerves did no good whatsoever. It was dreadfully painful and sore. Caused me about a week of misery and as far as I can tell it has done no good at all. I know this works for some people. But they probably don't have neuropathy. I'm beginning to believe that perhaps my knee surgery in the left knee was messed up and maybe this is creating some of this dreadful pain in that side. There is an area on the outside of the knee cap that looks as if it is adhered to the bone and all the veins in that spot keep breaking and turning purple. I can tell that is happening because of some trauma because it hurts so badly when it does and the limp gets more pronounced.

I am going to look at this more seriously as soon as this move is completed. I just can't take the time right now to be down again. And I'm afraid it will require surgery to release it.

I just think there are multiple things going on. I've been sleeping with a Lidoderm patch on my sacrum and it eases some of this misery. I'm thinking of putting one on my knee too but not sure how much of this I can have.

Sue, where are you? Are you o.k? I think everyone is glued to the tv and the Games right now.
