Hello everyone, my name is . I have been suffering with back pain since

2002. I fractured my spine while in the Army and received poor care through the

clinics provided for me.

They didn't even take x-rays for 8 months so by the time they saw what was wrong

it had healed wrong. I had to have part of my lumbar spine fused and came away

from the surgery with radiculapothy in my right leg. (Before the surgery it was

in my left.)

I had to have another surgery that added taking the damaged disks out and

replacing them with LT cages. I wish I had not had the surgery at all. I wish

I had waited until the very last moment to have it.

I have been on tons of medication since 2002 which has had terrible side affects

on my body. The narcotics have messed up my stomach to the point that I do not

take pain meds by mouth. I now wear patches, but the patches eat up my skin as

well.

I have not gotten a definitive answer to what is causing the pain, all the

doctors I have seen tell me it's pain that I will have the rest of my life and

to manage it with meds. I say that's not good enough! I don't want to take

these meds at all!

I know I will never be rid of all the pain but I know some of this is

unnecessary. I'm looking for other options if anyone can help out with

suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it!
