@rockon79 Thank you. I am trying to get help and have been for many years after my ACDF surgery of 2014 not showing that it has given me adjacent segment disease. I also had a laparoscopic female surgery 2021 and the surgeon accidentally cut my transverse colon upon placement. I have many painful adhesions abdominal and pelvic from the surgery. Difficult to have any pain relief. It hurts my neck to lay down it hurts everything else to sit up.

@mariann0007 I really think there are too many medical professionals that simply do not properly comprehend how debilitating severe chronic pain can be both mentally and physically. Many do not fully realize pain of that category can impede if not stop any medical improvement and should strongly feel the moral obligation to help a fellow human's suffering-especially in their position. Please, never forget-that in todays advanced medical society most pain can be treated and or controlled for at least a marginal life style with a noticeable respite from some of the agony. That ideal involves finding the right provider with the right knowledge with the right mind set. I had to look but persistence paid off finding a professional that provided the guidance I needed. I am sure that must be available to you also. I have a great empathy for your situation for I have been there (more than once).
