I recently was in the hospital and still am experiencing pain. Mon. I go to the pain clinic and hope to get this sometimes 10+ pain relieved. * * * Mornin' Lorraine... I've had back pains for most of my adult life... the maacho human crane thing precipitated mine... long before PD... Back pain is for the most part very treatable... Keepin' active 'n busy 'n keepin' my weight down has been a better Rx for me than Dr.s and pain killers... Pain killers tend to make me groggy and constipated... Not my idea of quality of life... I like to walk on the seawall and eat fruits 'n vegetables 'n manna bread and ignore the pains... When I get comfortable walkin' the pain vanishes... I hope the pain clinic is good for you... but remember... All backs need a little gentle exercise... think physio? cheers ..... murray Parkinson's Unity Walk - Team "Fidgety Feet" http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/051.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
