Good lord, what a bummer! > > Butch > > Hi Butch,,, I really do feel for you. I considered shoulder replacement in both my shoulders but to my surprise they got much better when I changed DMARDs from Methx. to Arava and then Enbrel. It still hurts to change a light bulb or comb my hair but its livable. I also had a problem with my lower back for about 2 years but doing some stretches before getting up each day and watching what and how I lift things,,,, it has become livable also. I guess I am just lucky but I wanted you to know that I know the pain you have lived with and my only question is,,,, do you set off alarms now when using an airline to get somewhere? Harv
I do for sure Harvey. I don't travel anymore thank heaven, but when I went though heads turned and guards came walking from several different directions. I still have my card noting the surgeries and physicians names and phone numbers. Butch Magee,.....going out griping!! Harvey R.
