I am sorry that you have experienced this pain, it is hard to accept isn't it? We all go through a cycle of "is it in my head?", because it takes so long to find someone who will listen & find out why we have pain.
I know that you will get many replies to your request of emails. Best wishes for your upcoming surgery, please ask a friend or relative to post a message here telling us how you are after the surgery.
Please feel free to email me any time wallamara@hotmail.com
love, hugs & cheers Jo
