*waves* Hi David- I am fairly new here as well, but I think you will find that his place is a great source of support. I have been overwhelmed at how welcoming and helpful everyone is here.
Can you give us a little more history so we can try to help? How long have you suffered from CP? What pain meds are you on? Are there any treatment options you have tried, such as physical therapy, injections, etc? Where is your pain located?
I also am a chronic back pain sufferer- I have degenerative disc disease, arthritis and facet syndrome- all L4-S1. I have tried different procedures- epidurals, facet injections, and most recently radio frequency ablation. I am still in a ton of pain.
I know how debilitating back pain can be and I'm sorry that you are suffering from it, but glad you found this forum.
