      I'll make it short & and sweet I have had 6 back surgries 1st was 4/11/02 last 1-11-07 will be having my 7th in a few weeks I am fused from shoulder blades to tailbone. On my last sugery they were going take out all the hardware I had 2 titanium rods & approx 60 screws removed however when the got in found I still hade week spots around t12 so they put in 2 new titanium bars 2 weeks after surgery I got up off the couch felt me a very sharp pain & found out I broke my back just under the new rods

      Treatments

      I don't remember what it is like not to have pain. I look forward to the day when my pain level is around a 4 or 5

      In a nut shell I have had 6 back surgeries & will be facing a 7th in the next couple of weeks.I undergone a discogram, ct cans 15 sympathetic nerve block injections, traction, you name it I've probably had it but i'm one of the luck ones as I am still walking.

      Treatments

      My chriro use's and activactor less stress on the body, and acupuncture which I love. overall mjy experience was really good.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      makes me wide awake for a goof hour or so thrn back to normsl.
      Lyrica Not Working
      the only thing this drug did is screw up my short term memory hate it would not recommend it but thats only my opinion I many have taked it & loved it
      Methadone Somewhat Helpful
      This game me a tiny bit of relief from pain however doctor did not wean me off & the withdrawls were horrible.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      This is one of the many I am on now helps quite a bit with the pain no real side effects.
