Hi, I am responding to your post re:post repacement of joint pain...I had a total knee done in 98, the knee is O.K. but the "sciatica pain" in my lower back and hips is unbearable at times. I'm on ultram 300mg. daily, and antidpressants... none of which helps. Do you exercise? I try to do atleast 20 minutes of walking per day. Have you tried using a heating pad on your lower back? I also have osteoarthritis in my spine, psoritaic arthritis, which comes and goes. Positive thinking, and a support group might help you, although, I have to admit that sometimes NOTHING works! Good luck to a fellow sufferer. Bz
