hi

, i like your response.lol, anyway, the methadone has worked best for me. i have tried many different narcs, shots,pt, ot, psyco therapy

, ect. next month, i will be trying the spinal cord stimulator. as far as the stress, i am on cymbalta. 120mg a day, the max and i didn't think it heled but at one point i went off it and i didn't tell my hubby and kids for awhile and they begged me to go back on it because i became soo irritable. so i guess it did make a difference. i do think you have to give it more time though. mine was c spine. not sure what yours is but my doc did say it takes a good year to heal. i wish i never had any of them

. i'm worse now then when i started

. well, i hope you feel better real soon and good luck, patti

ps. i love these little funny guys
