@debiobrien I hear you in your pain. On here we all have pain issues but like you said keep the faith let God be your guide in life and believe totally in his power it never fails. Have good Dr.s talk all the vitamins and minerals I use Hemp oil externally and internally it helps me with the leg problems . I have a book from Phyllis Balch she is a nutritionist who uses not only food but herbs ,vit,min. and talks about our different problems and what is good for that problem also gives you what to stay away from expecilly if your on Coumadin which I'm not . This is her 5th edition I think I upgraded from all 5. I really like her book if you don't have it it maybe something to look at to see if you want it . I first started out in the 70,s reading Dr. Mandall he was the Bible on alternative meds. I'm in Calif. so just got up drinking my green tea , Hope you have a good pain free day . My injection was 2 days ago for my back and it seems to be finally kicking in as my back feels pretty good right now.
