Don't worry about late replies. You get a lot of advice and support here and it's difficult to reply to everyone when you have so much going on with your health. It's overwhelming when you first get your diagnosis but you are on a journey that many of us are also on, and we have one common set of goals...be pain free, be meds free and return to normalcy. Don't ever forget that we are all at different stages but one in spirit.
