About Me
I am a 53 year old woman who has chronic bone graft pain as a result from a spinal fusion(lumbar) surgery in 2001. Since then, I have had chronic bone graft pain The doctors have been trying to help me get rid of the pain but it just won't go away. I have had a total of five back surgeries to get some pain relief in that region but that has not happened yet. Any support that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Joan Gentile

Close Chronic Pain
I've had five back surgeries in the past six years to get some pain relief for chronic bone graft pain and I still have no pain relief in sight. Any advice that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Works very well for severe headaches and nerve pain in the head but not for the sciatica nerve pain in the leg
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- It helped with the pain for a short time.
- Lyrica Working / Worked
- Works very well on migraine headaches and nerve pain in the head but not in the sciatica nerve pain.
- Mobic Somewhat Helpful
- It does help with my arthritis in my hips and my joints but not my nerve pain in my sciatica nerve in my left leg.
- Spinal Cord Stimulator Working / Worked
- Works very well on my sciatica pain in my leg but not my bone graft pain that I have had since my spinal fusion surgery in 2001.
Close Menopause
I'm a 55 year old female in menopause. I have been going through menopause since I turned 50 years old. I would like to find out from other women, like myself, who are also going through menopause, to see what treatments are available to me and any suggestions they may have during the menopausal years. Thank you! Sincerely, joanieg2006
