@gingerw Thanks. The pain has me discouraged thus the depression is worse. Makes sense to me that they go hand in hand. Raises my ire when the doctors think talking to a therapist will make the pain magically disappear. Even the therapist finds it irritating that doctors do thus. There are times it is all I can do to keep my tongue like a letter opener from slicing-I would just be fired for hostile behavior. Being diplomatic gains me nothing either. All I know is the pain is much worse and the CT clearly shows I am not lying.
Thanks for caring and the encouragement.
