Gina, I haven't had the problems you have, but my mother does on a daily basis, so much she has a moriphene pump in her back. She has inoperative adhesions from back surgery 18 years ago. She doesn't compute, but if you would like to speak with her I will be happy to give you her phone number she lives is Central Florida. She would gladly talk with and offer any help she can. Teresa
