->  WC> I've never heard anyone say it, what does it mean? 

-> Neuroma - Bundle of nerves that have been detached, and didn't wire themselves
-> back right. (My words/understanding.)

Mine get pinched between vertabre that no longer have discs 
between them.

-> Iatrogenic - Doctor induced harm, due to misdiagnosis, or over eager treatment.

Yeah I got a hack doctor too, made it worse.

-> Amitriptaline? (SP?)

Trazodone, take two at night and out for the first 3 hours unless
something loud disturbs otherwise I get 7 hours.
Once awake there's no gettinbg back to sleep.

Were it not for my dog needing walked I doubt I'd have ANY
remaining mobility.
