Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
remember Lurch? (Adams Family) I can feel the way he looks tee hee
I am feeling frustrated. Now that my left hip has been replaced and is doing much better, I'm noticing how bad both knees are. I am struggling through the PT. I'm also having swelling in my right ankle.
My OS prescribed meloxicam (which does little or nothing.) I go back to see him in January. I guess we'll address the knees then.
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!
I joined mainly because of back pain that over the years evolved into chronic pain in joints and muscles all over, and I learned what you all already know: not much effective help is available for us.
So rather than just get angry I decided to reach out and rant a bit and try some experimentation with alternatives on myself, maybe I could help someone by doing a bit of careful research, self-experimentation, and reporting the results.
So I've been trying PEMF and although at first it was disappointing, I did eventually have very good results. I posted details in the back pain group. But it clearly could help with other forms of chronic pain, so I was looking around here to see if anyone else had tried PEMF. My experiments are ongoing, life is getting better, hope has returned for me so I want to share.
I'm late, but here! Hey all!
Peace

I'm here for the first time in a long time. I just haven't been feeling well and surfing the net has been last on my list of things to do. I'll try to be around a bit more to contribute a little though. Good to see so many replies to the roll call though, lots of folks are still here and that's a good thing.
Talk to you all later on.
Sorry I'm not on the site every day, but I'm so into the outdoors. I did a wonderful snow shoe hike in the mountains yesterday. Just so beautiful! I only did about 4 miles, but with this broken body, it took most of the day. That's OK...I'm just glad I can do it at all! I give all the thanks to my pain management doctor. The man is a blessing. He gave me back my life!
