      From craigchome April 24

      Hey, all that pain and no hugs yet, so I thought I'd be the first! I do hope you find help on DS, there are a great bunch of people here who will help if they can with anything. Read the Discussion board and the Advice board and if you need help, ASK. Someone will always respond. I feel for you with back pain, I had L4 &L5 fused back in my twenties, but thankfully I was able to conquer the post op pain. I remember feeding myself on Valium and Gin when things got really bad!

    • Close Back Pain

      Had lumbar back fusion 2004 with titanium rods L4L5 and two laminectomy levels with poor pain relief. Continued to work having epidurals. Pain worsened to debilitating level last year. Poor pain relief with tramadol, lyrica and vicodin. Live with 8-10 pain level daily. Want to see what is helping others.
