I read your post a few hours ago but did not know how to respond Wayne.
I have now read Christine�s post and realise it is OK to have no words to express how I felt reading it.
Don�t know if you have the same expressions but it reminded me of the one you probably know. It must feel like you are "between a rock and a hard place�.
Sorry that pain pills etc. are your only option at the moment but hope they keep you comfortable.
Love and hugs
Gabriele
