Kim,
What you need is a good PAin Management Doctor to give you the right and
adequate amount of pain pills that will work for you and stay as far away
from the surgery suite as you possibly can. It will only put you in a life
threatening position. If you need help to find a good PAin Management doc I
am sure someone here can help you find one.It might take more than one
before you find the right one for you but patience is a virtue. I know what
you are feeling and I thought the answer was surgery too but I found out
through reading some of these Quilt stories thats not the truth. And through
my own experience also. Educate yourself with your condition.I promise you
will never regret it.
Love and Best Wishes
Lillian
