So pleased to hear that the medication change has improved things for you, Maggie.

Thanks for filling me in. Now I won't have an excuse for asking again. 
If you're in a speck, I wonder what I'm living in..<rhetorical> No drugstore at all.

It's a long story along with my elbows. Went for surgery consult for both, in March.
he sent me for MRI - August.
Then followup, found 4 things wrong with my shoulder but didn't have much time to
discuss surgery (except he books them 6 months ahead). He gave me 6 seeroid shots to
right elbow and 2 to left. Right elbow pain barely improved. Left elbow pain worse.
There's a big lump right where he gave me one injection the size of cherry tomato and
I can't get to see him until October. His nurse/receptionist said she's never heard
of that happening before, so doesn't know what it is. It's hard as a rock (not fluid)
so I don't have a clue what's wrong there. Meantime, it turned cold here a few nights
ago and I woke up with severe spine pain (assuming arthritis flare) and left hip.
Can't put weight on left foot/leg without a lot of pain. And if I move my neck, turn
neck, or raise my head, or cough or yawn, my spine hurts like h*ck! Heat doesn't
help the spine, ice doesn't help it, pills down't help it. Moving in warm sun seems
to help, but warm sun is going away for winter, now.
I hate whining here, because so many have bigger troubles.
my name is 'if it's not one thing it's another and can't get one thing solved before
other things kick in"
or phooey (for short).
Hugs Maggie,
back to lurkdom I go
