Hi, I'm Barb. In 2020, a few weeks after colorectal cancer surgery, headed to rr when I got lightheaded/fainted and went straight down on my butt. I ended up with 3 lumbar compression fractures (1 later collapsed). (I almost died at my cancer surgery - took 4 months to get back home after hospital stays and physical rehab hospitals to be able to walk again.). The orthopedic surgeon wouldn't operate cuz I wasn't strong enough for rod, brackets, screws to fix my back. So now I have hump back and wear 100 Mcg Fentanyl patch. I tried different pills, and would actually like morphine, but my PCP wouldn't scribe it. Fentanyl helps a little, but now my cancer is back (recurrent) and am having new butt pain and numbness down to my knees, sometimes to my toes. I get so tired of repeating problems to all the Drs.

All I can say is I am so sorry, I have no answers.

Barbara, I am so so sorry you are going through all of this. I know this is discouraging as you have been through so much.

I am praying for you right now. Blessings & Prayers.....
