Posted on Tue, 5 May 2015
Question: I am being told that my anti-spam code is inccorect. Plus I am spending alot of money on health insurance and present pain clinic. I have 2 bad ankles, left 1 fused and the other is so bad with arthritis that the ortho wants to fuse it. The only thin that fusing my right ankle did was decrease it's movement by about half. My right knee is bone on bone and about 2 to 3 times the size of my left. Last my left hand and shoulder have arthritis. My left hand swells so much that I can hardly move it. My left shoulder could be a tear in something???? Been on opiate therapy for quite sometime and it works. Subsys 400mcg and 30 mg oxycodone. I want to just get the meds I need and cut down on the Dr. fees and insurance.
