Re: Another cushion adaptation

I found a really great self inflating cushion called hummingbird (google it) designed for back packers. Rolls up super small and can be carried in a large pocket or in a purse. U shaped and air distributes weight nicely. Very sturdy and costs $32. I bought 4 of these in case they quit making them. F...

Re: Marinol

Thanks, Ezer. I am giving it a month or two before I post on any of the results. Hopefully it will be good news. And yes it was an interesting night. But at least we don't have tornadoes.Take care.

Re: Marinol

Grammy, For me marijuana actually made my pain worse. This was a shame because I really liked to use it for recreational purposes but had to give it up after I was afflicted. I did however notice that smoking allowed you to control the dosage more accurately than using some sort of synthetic oral su...

Re: Pain Meds

I have been on oxycodone and lyrica for the last six years. While I am not crazy about some of the side effects such as some sedation and negative effect on my sex life overall I have been grateful for the fact that it has allowed me to enjoy life. I can take cross-country airplane flights , go out ...

I would echo Helen's advice about getting an experienced surgeon since even if you aren't fixed, things will not be made worse. This is particularly true for laparoscopic procedures. I do believe that small hernias can cause nerve pain so obviously you would need to find a surgeon who shares that vi...
