Hi,I just noticed that there was a chronic pain community,I just joined DS recently.
I have been living with chronic back pain for over 20 years,currently living with two fractured vertabrae, one is 50% gone the other 30% gone and also a herniated disc which comes and goes.
I am not supposed to lift over 30 pounds anymore which is hard since I am a big guy 6'4" and I live alone with my two preteen sons here part of the time.
I also have osteoarthritis in my back.

Hi Eight,
Welcome to DS. I joined DS only 1 week ago, and already it's made such a huge impact on me. After so many years of facing Chronic pain all on my own, it feels so amazing to find there are others out there facing the same thing. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi eight, welcome to our group:):) Hope to see you again. We all understand what you are going through. I have lupus, fibromyalgia and arthritis and 2 herniated discs in my lower back. There are other things too, but those are just some of what causes my daily pain.
You will get a lot of support and advice here:)
