I know she has so much trouble with that drain thing. My wife hasn't yet bugged her much thank goodness but the docs told us that sometimes it can cause a lot of pain if they have to do the needle thing which is what they did on p-vine ... I am so sorry to hear she is hurting Bob ... Does she have a TENS unit. That is one of those electronic pain gadgets. if not I will see if I can dig out my old one. I know it is here someplace. They gave it to me because of chronic pain and it does work .. they are called transcutaneous nerve stimulator. They give them to chronic pain patients like me, maybe that will help I will see if I can find it
