Thanks for the welcome Darlene. I think its time for

me to go to the Doctor as well. My pain has gotten so

much worse in the last few months.....along with my

depression. Good luck with the disability fight. I

have a permanent/partial disability due to an injury

at work. I have no feeling in my leg and bottom of

foot (maybe thats a good thing?) due to a ruptured

disc. I didnt get awarded any comp money because its

only a " partial " diability and doesnt keep me from

working. Oh well......at least my surgery went well

and apart from the Fibro my back is good.
