Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi Jodi, Thanks for your help! I just had to laugh when you wrote I hate doctors. I'm used to going to the hospitals and i've seen an orthopedist from when i was about 9 years old. Last year he said I wouldn't have to come anymore. But a couple of weaks ago the trouble with my back started again. I'll make an appointment next weak and ask him if he will look at my hands as well. if nescesery i'll ask him to send me through to another specialist. So yes, I will see a doctor this time!
