-> See...?  :)  Anything to quiet the yelling... ;)
-> Doc knew what he (she?) was doing when s/he had you get it.
->
She, and she told me to get it
because she didn't like the way
I was walking...It's nice to have
when I need it but I still tend to 
use a non handicapped spot if
I can.

-> 
-> Point... ;)  I'd be more likely to go for the scotch than the

->
Yeah, at that point the pain pills won't 
help much so might as well enjoy the scotch.

-> 
-> Massage is good.  Especially for dealing with the compensating

-> Is there a good therapist as part of the HMO?  Or could he

-> 
-> ttyl        neb

My sister in law is a licensed Massage
Therapist, and I have several other
leads to reputable therapists who
specialize in some techniques that
might prove helpful.
Even if I have to pay full price
out of pocket it might be worth
it if it helps
chat with you soon!
