I am sorry you felt attacked here. That sucks! I am happy to here that you did not let those negative words drive you away. Even more impressive is that you still frequent DB just to keep updated. That's cool.
I no longer use OP's, but I am on pain killers from my regular doctor and I am in physical therapy. So I am right there with you on this one, while I no longer need specific details on the several OP's out there, I do injoy reading all of the interesting posts as well as always getting an answer to just about any question I post. If only I could get that from one of my doctors. I sometimes feel like I should refer my doctor to this site (of course I would never do that, don't worry) or to one of the websites that the many DB users find links to. I mean it. I usually get the correct answer out of someone here far before my doctor can come up with it, or even worse the doctors don't come up with it, they either "make" it up or just blow it off.
Either way, thatnks for posting and for agreeing with me about pfree's post. Take care
