@merry....thank you for a thoughtful reply to this whiner. Sounds like the specialists involved in your care have served you well. Truly glad for you. I guess I really am just sour grapes. I too have issues, but I do long for the days when my Healthcare was simple, uncomplicated and managed, for the most part, by my primary care doc. God bless.
@brightwings...Lost my female primary due to retirement. Loved her, miss her. Now I have a male caregiver who is just great and has taken over treating me, and my pain, which keeps me out of pain management and yet another doctor. He is very modest in approach to pain meds, but has no attitude about me or my needs. He recognizes I am a normal woman, with a healthy happy lifestyle, who just happens to have constant, unfixable conditions. And I'm grateful. Yep. **she smiles**

Thank you for your smile...
I lost my wonderful old male doc to retirement. He hung on working and helping folks finally and decided to live life...God bless that man.
Thank your doc for being careful. My foot doc put me thru 6 foot surgeries in 2 years. I ended up addicted to hydrocodone.
It took 2 years to get over the psychological addiction...and I did it. Hard as it was.

A handy tool for body pain, muscles or skeletal, get an order for lidocaine cream. Then apply it to the areas that hurt. Numbs it right up. Add a small piece of plastic bag over the ointment. It makes the lidocaine cream sink in and stay there instead of rubbing off on your sock.

Be aware the pain is still there, you just don't feel it...
.
Too much physical pain gets stored in the body...
And will cause havoc later.

Ok, headed to Silver Dollar City with my family tomorrow. Everyone is home with their mothers and big parks like this are almost empty. Its so much fun....
Picture me riding the big rides over and over tomorrow, free as the wind of this ailing body.

Cuz sometimes we just have have to let go of it all and go have some fun.
