Thanks all, I woke up this morning and could actually hobble a little bit beter. I went to my chiropractor for my back and he usually helps with that. I guess I have always been the type of person that has never liked to take pills, if I have pain..I want to know why and do something to get rid of it. That's why taking the pain pills have been hard for me, I feel like I am just masking the pain and not doing actually treating it, which is a stupid way to think. And you are right Mary Anne, I guess I have bigger worries and battle to fight than taking a few pain pills a day. I took neurontin for about a month and couldn't handle it. It made me totally loopy, I was running into things at Wal-Mart one day and then realized that I couldn't even remember what I had done the day before, I took myself off them then. I am taking cymbalta which is an anti-depressant which works on the nerve system, I can tell when I miss a day. I usually can make it through the day but around 5:00 pm the pain starts becoming intolerable. The Loritabs work well with me and I don't get too groggy, I actually get more energy. I just want to wake up one day and feel like I did before all this. My mental outlook is better today anyway, yesterday was just so hard for me. My son just moved out the house for college and I guess I am just a little depressed about that also...Thank you all for being here for me, not too many people really understand how we feel...which is a good thing I guess. I wouldn't wish this on anyone...sherryg
