Thank everyone so much for your advice. When my husband got home I was crying so hard he dropped everything and started rubbing them very softly(thanks Fayerea) and has done it each time I have to get up. After I would sit down would hurt worse then while walking. The rub downs has made it bareable. My hands have also been feeling like they want to lock up and this also scares me. So tomorrow my main focus is going to be to see if I can get in at another clinic where they base your bill on your income.
Also was asked about soaking my feet. Last week I did that and it made them throb. Coldness also hurts so I'm afraid to do either temp.
Pray I find someone tomorrow ,I can afford, to see me asap. Thanks again

Lol just comented on that thread. Since ur going to the sliding scale place, if you go to the same one all the time tyou wont have to keep filling out all the forms, and they will save your price. The first time may be high, then it will go down hill from there. Make sure if they order tests that you ask how they give you results. I went to one before insurance kicked in and they never called me with labs, i called they said i would have to come in, when i did they tried to charge me just to get results, Dont let them pull this crap with you, i made her see me for free. 3 mins of their time is not worth over one hundered bucks!
