Hi Millie,
Thanks for your reply. I hadn't thought about a massage. I tried physical therapy and I was in so much pain that they recommended that I see a surgeon. I will ask my doctor about having a massage. Take care.

Terry,
I get a massage every month and if I fall I get an extra one.
I tell my masseur that I don't hurt when I come in and I don't
hurt when I go out but I sure hurt while I am there for that hour.
He has the most educated hands and fingers. He said he
doesn't do accupunture but he know where the spots are that
they put in the needles.--and does he ever!
