The doctors put me on darvoset,percoset,codine,motrin,tylenol 3 with codine,and something else but i can't remember. I was on all of them for about 4 months give or take a week. But now I try not to take anything unless it's really bad, like when I try to play with my dogs or stand for too long. The doctors told me that if I were to just ingore the pain that it would go away, I tried that but it never seemed to work for to long. I also went to a Bio-Feed Back class 3-6 times a week that lasted at least 2-4 hours a time. In that class it helped me to deal with the pain when it was time to go to sleep but that was the only time. Once in a while it would work when I was at work and I could get in a quiet place to pratice but it wasn't that often that I could do it. ****** Sorry that it took me so long to call back and reply but I would try every night a couple times and it was always busy the call is a toll call for me so I could only try certain times. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message.******* To get back to the pain the worst time for me is the winter closely followed by the fall because that's when it's the worst. Now with the pain in my leg I have 2 major pains to deal with. In June of 90 I had 7 pins and 2 plates put in my leg after I crushed it, If you have any insight to help with the pain on either place it would much be apperciated. Again I'm very,very sorry about not getting back sooner, but now I'm able to call a little more frequent from work, so hopefully I'll be able to talk to you more. I live in New Jersey so that way you know what type of weather I have to deal with, down by Atlantic City. The shore weather is rather fierce. Thank you and again I'm sorry about the delay. Hope to talk to you soon. Michaelle Ann -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!363!15!Michaelle.Kolsun-Miller Internet: Michaelle.Kolsun-Miller@f15.n363.z1.fidonet.org
