Dear @kevinversace55

xxx @LORIESCO SAYS… xxx
I was reading @loriesco question “be sure there is no SCAR TISSUE.. on NERVES or other problems”.

xxx PAIN,, OH, PAIN? xxx
Here’s what I did… 2 years ago, I feel down inside my garage thru my wooden steps. I hit me both rear-ends that started of deep pain from my rear-ends to the bottom of my feet. No more walking, but falling down many times a day. Thankfully, my brain-injury didn’t happen, but killed my lower body - for the last 2 years ago. I took pain meds but a few mths ago, the meds are gone, but still have the deep pain.

xxx SURGERY xxx
I had doctors-over- doctors that started my family doctor. That’s gone, BUT - thankfully - my family doctor moved to a better way; he sent me Dr. A. Checked my lower back and I used this 22 years ago, the other doctor who’s gone, fixed in my lower back. But there was a nerve that stuck to my part back.

During this - 4 mths ago - Dr. A. fixed my small lower back and moved that nerve was back too where it needed. Well during my surgery (according to my wife) took 6 hr surgery… there was “scar tissues” of more than one. It took him time fixing-over-fixing my lowest back - a small one.

xxx AT THE END… xxx
At this end, it took me 5-days at that hospital; making sure I can walk, eating, going to bathrooms. After that 5-day, I went home, and then my pain - every bit this - was GONE! He fixed the pain and the other 50% is left for me… exercising, stretching, walking, holding…

Thx,
Greg D. @greg1956

Its a struggle for sure! I'm glad you are making progress. I've spent 2 weeks at the hospital - two separate times for complications. It can take up to 10 years for nerves and such to "remodel." So I give myself more time than I think! No more one year to healing. Maybe 2 - 4 years now. In the meantime like you said - you just keep on. Some days great. Some days impossible. Best of luck Greg! hugs.
