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

You're welcome, Starlite! I never really talk about my mother anymore. It's just too sad for me to think…

I’m With You
We're in this unfortunate thing together, pain just sucks. I keep thinking of when u are given lemons make lemonade? I can't figure a good response to that regarding pain. Guess it makes us appreciative of low pain days. you know the ones that well people complain about??? Stay safe friend! Hugs

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
