Greetings, it's been a while since I was last on this site,, and of course am getting into a bit more discomfort so am back at this.... I have a question, does anyone feel like I do,, even when I am completely without pain some days, I just wait for the pain to arrive - I know this gets in the...

You know Pete I feel exactly the same way,,, I am now recognizing this.... I had an interesting semi setback / ahha moment this past Sunday / Monday.... I am in a senior management role in a large organization and..., am quite the introvert, an interesting and unsettling mix. I had to attend a...
