Your never too old for surgery, your ONLY 36! If this just happened there is alot that drs can do for you!! Find a good Dr in your area or make a trip to May Clinic, they have the best. And for the pain?, I think we all are trying to find help for that! Good luck, you are not alone.

RIchard,
I will be emaiking you privately so be on the look out!
Cheers,

Courtney,

Thanks for reposting.
I looked to see if I could recover the original post but it is gone. I'm glad you had it.

Navyman -- could you tell us how long ago your accident was?

After I posted the reply to Jen B, I saw the original post, so I pasted it back in, who knows how I got it but there it is! Hopefully we hear back from him soon!
