I'm so sorry to hear that. I know what its like for people to "not get it." Fortunately everyone here DOES get it... I'm yet to hear of anyone getting back surgery that hasn't made people worse, let alone actually help someone in pain. This makes me very mad. You would think that with all the medical advances we have every year and the millions of people with chronic pain, someone would get something right. Here's to the hope of beneficial medical technology!
