I had been eagerly anticipating this day. Knowing that freedom from pain is coming can help you work through the pain. I had been using over-the-counter pain patches (Salonpas, Absorbine, Jr.) and eating acetaminophen to get by. I am not going to sacrifice some pleasure in this life, just to be pain free all the time. Life is all about balance. Forfeiting the good things in this life for tomorrows that may never come, is definitely not my philosophy.
Thank you, to Comprehensive Pain Mangement Center!
Specifically, Shady Adib, MD, Adrienne, PA, Candace, RT, Kaitlyn, RN (who I went to nursing school with), and Natalie, RN. What a great team! I highly recommend them!
