Book...Thanks for telling me your story I know something needs to be done..I just have to get the courage to do it. I'm a whimp when my thumb was hurt I walked around in pain for months before going to the doc because I was afraid of what they would do, turns out it was a simple 1/2 hr surgery an it was fixed no more pain, I suffered more during those months of waiting...this with AD is alot like that only on a bigger scale..
