Hi from the PNW

[Woodhouse]

Indeed.  All I hear about is how bad the "epidemic" is, which tells me that whatever the rule makers are doing isn't working anyway.  Kind of like guns in Chicago, but that's a different topic.

Don't get me started on that can of worms...  Welcome Zobra. I am sorry to hear of your chronic pain issues. You are not alone here in that respect. Many of our members deal with chronic pain. The members on iop that last are mostly just like you. Regular people looking for SAFE & affordable healthcare options. Read back through some previous posts. You can try to use the search option with keywords like lower back pain or hip pain. Good Luck! I hope to read your thoughts in the future.
