Ive got a up coming surgery[revision for the hip],,i just had THR 3 months ago[pain is bad and stabbing upon weght bearing].you should be walking after 3 weeks with no pain Im still on crutches which .means its eaither a loose cup,,or rsd migrated there,,,the surgery could be a disaster,,or could be better,,,but after all these meds and so many surgeries in the past,,my liver is fired up and tender and some shortness of breath ,,exspecially right after i take 2 percocet,,plus all these surgeries are hard on the heart ,,im going to see my dr in about 2 weeks ,,and ask if he wants or knows about the long continous blocks,,,if need be i can always throw it down the road another 6 weeks,,but im tired of the pain,,and as you all the know the insurance gets iffy, so i dont wanna get stuck like this, ,,,either way,,,id appreciate your input,,and expertise,,im 48,and ive even have a rash on one of my feet,,i think its a reaction from the long term and adverse reation of the opiates, and acetpedom and all the other boat load of meds i was on,,i should have known better,,i do trust in God and psalms 139: 14-16 tells me my days are predeston before i was born, i do joke alot here at times,,but this is to lift up a tired grieveing group of souls,,you guys are the best,,and makes me forget about the enevitable,,,,,,,,ps ive off all my meds until surgery,,gotta let this liver heal,,,, ive abused my body alot in my time. i guess as my dad used to say is true before he died,,,when you dance ,,you gotta pay the fiddler,,,,sorry about the typos,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bobber
