Hi everyone with back pain....I just wanted to say there is hope no matter how bad it looks....dont lose the faith and hope no matter what it looks like or even what the dr's tell you...because my dr didnt give me any hope...in fact he told me i was like a dog chasing a car....because i was talking him into a 6 operation and he thought it was a waist of time....well he did the operation...fusion from the front and the back with all kinds of metal....well my spine was striaght before the operation and took 12 yrs for that cruve in the low back to come back...i had to be put in the hospital a few times for pain control...becuase the healing pain was so bad at time...everything i had woudlnt control it...from fentenly,morphine,xanax,lortab, on,on....i wanted to kill myself thats how bad the pain was..it was like being on fire...well today iam pain free and no more pain meds after 20yrs of doing nothing but going to dr's and phamacy.....its a new life..the sun is shining again....i never gave up being pain free....my dr told me...that isnt going to happen...well i believe he was the best dr also....i didnt care what he said..i knew he was a good dr and he really did care about
me.he didnt want to do my last operation becuase he tought it would kill me and it almost did....because this was the second time he went thur the front and he told me the only get one shot from the front and the second time it had to be life saving sergury and i wasnt dying...but i stayed on him...took me 3 yrs to talk him into....well there are lots of things i did to get better...surgury was only the begining...i had to have lots of myotherapy,refelxogoly...and juicing also help in the last few months..i wish i would have done that from the beginging...well im not the best at spelling and typing....but i have a ton of info from my long road to recovery from back pain...i would love to help anyone i can........Keep the faith and hope
