Alllllllllrighty then!

Just thought I'd share my confusion to see if anyone else has been where I am. Four years ago I began to have foot pain. It has gotten much worse since then.

Retirement at 45 may be my only option!

Hi, My name is Lindsey, I think I have just about had enough of all of this pain and discomfort. Nothing is really getting on top of it. I am on methotrexate, celebrex and panadeine forte. I do also take folic acid 6 days per week, a multi B and C, Omega3 and Muscleze (Mag). I am at 17.5mgs per week now on the... Read more Chevron
