Hello Andrea and thank you for your support!! I have been searching for
another doctor who will work w/me and my pain!! Im glad to hear that you
have found two doctors that will work with you to get good pain relief.
I hope that we can also find a good doctor that can understand our need
for pain relief! Thanks Andrea, Steph :)
