Just wanted to say Hello to everyone! I have been dealing with degenerative disc disease for a while. I had herniated disc, and the lab work came back saying it should belong to someone at least 65, I was 30. Since then Benn diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, chronic fatigue, bone spurs, osteoarthritis and tons of scar tissue. During my first back surgery, doctor sawed 2 sets of vertebra apart and lifted sciatica up and over so he could drill opening. I have a lot of metal, dorsal spinal column stimulator, and a little titanium fellow I believe is called vertiflex. I think moderate exercises helps me the most. I'm glad I'm not alone anymore with the dealings of pain!
