WOW, lots of information and advise here. Let me say first THANKS GANG, I do appreciate it. I have just gotten an appointment with my primary care physician on Thursday to see what he thinks of all of this.

Today my pain is much less and easier to get around, however, I had to have some vicodin to get thru the night last night.

Once again, thanks for all of Y'alls experiences and suggestions,
