Hi Debs
Welcome to the mad house !
Apart from the huge libray of info here, the greatest assett are the users themselves. You'll always find some one willing to offer helo/advice on practically anything.!!
Just remember that if you ask about pain, everyone is different in what and how they feel/sence things. No two persons are the same, regardless of same injuries.
All the best, never be shy, just speek your mind, Oh, make sure you fill in as nuch info you can about yourself ont he profile page. It does make life alot easier when responding to a question - post - forum.heers for now,
Al

Welcome aboard Debbie.. ;-)
What's important is not what happens to us, but how we react to what happens to us..
