    Thankyou DR. J ,i would'nt have throught about the worse befor better and thats just what happened i felt like heck the first 24 hours and feal 75% better now.

    My pain management Doctors are sending me to the hospital for an MRI of the liver and splean next Tuesday. After that they will be watching my meds close to deterimin wich one is causeing my legs and feet to swell but allso they may be adjusting the dosage with my current meds and if nessary change some.

    Have a great evening DR.J
