About Me: Female, sacrmento, CA, member since May 2009

They spent 12 years avoiding fixing anything, and now that I have all this other pain.. and am trying to learn to endure a prosthetic leg, and all this other garbage..now he has cut back my pain meds by 75% and I can barely function. So I am struggling with that too. I guess I should have just used that as a screen name..struggling in sacramento.
