@faithwalker007 Wouldn’t it be easier to find/create a drug that takes care of this pain rather than all this nightmare of work you must go through? I think I just figured out the opioid/benzo conspiracy. All these operations and devices must cost a ton more than pain pills, don’t they? And because they don’t work in a lot of cases you keep trying some other surgery. It would be Interesting to find out the number of suicides because no one will help with the pain. I don’t think any reporting is done on that.
I’ll get off my whiney soapbox now.

With all the injections and eight surgeries and going through PRC at the Mayo I have surrendered. I had a herniated disc on my last go-around which one bad at the Mayo which cause a severe spinal leak which then cause a condition called a Arachnoititis. This condition is not curable there's no research on it and it's caused by injections and surgery. The only way to find out if you have it is to get a MRI with contrast of your lumbar area wherever you're hurting and to see if you have it. If you had it or have it you're in trouble because the pain will increase and if it gets to be a he Civ when is spinal pendants touch each other your pain will be like stage 4 cancer. Keep away from the stimulators and find a good pain doctor that understands your pain and able to treat you. You might want to get an MRI with contrast to see if you have any of this condition I just told you about because there's millions of people who are walking around who don't realize I have that condition. Just want to tell you about it. Thanks and be well

@bustrbrwn22 I do not think you are whinning at all. There have been times I told myself I just can't take this pain anymore. Day, night, always. Make me THINK about what I can do. It wears on you and suicide becomes the thought that that is all there is. I thank God and my faith in God for getting me through the rough times. I understand though. Thankfully I have a pain management doctor that prescribes percocet. It helps alot. I pray FDA doesn't interfere.
