I hope you are feeling better. I read your post in the veggie group. I have found glucosamine chondroiton to help with any joint pain. I see you wrote your bro is an alcoholic and driving you crazy - you may enjoy the codependency group here. Just wanted to say hi and hope you feel better.

I am so glad you liked it. It is more relevant at my age but perhaps young women should tuck it in the back of their minds for future reference :-)

Close Chronic Pain
Hi my name is Melinda. I am a 37 year old female. About three years ago I started to have problems with my arms. I had CTS in both wrist, tennis elbow in both elbows and Shoulder Impingement in both shoulders. I have had four surgeries on my hands and they did not help. The pain is in my neck now. I can not find a DR. that knows what is wrong with me. Or that doesn't hurt me when they try something new.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
- I went to the chiropractic for my lower back and we got to talking about my neck and arms and he told me that he could help me with that pain too. So I let him try and he made the pain worse. It was worse for about three dats. So I did not go back to him.
- Flexeril Not Working
- did nothing
- Heat Working / Worked
- I have two heating pads that I use for pain and they do help a little

Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I have OCD I think it started almost eight years ago after a car wreck. It doesn't really bother me or my family. They think it is funny. I have four kids ages between 20 and 13. They play jokes on me and move things around and they time me to see how long it takes me to catch it. I catch it pretty fast and run to move everything back where it belongs. My husband doesn't mind it. He just learned how to do everything the way I would. Like fold towel or where to put dishes.
