Hi Nancy,
Well you have plenty of friends here. You can say anything and we can relate. I wanted to mention something about your Fibro... I was wondering if your accident (if thats when you damaged your discs) coincided with your Fibro diagnosis. You don't have to answer but I'm asking because I had a torn disc in my back for 10 years but instead I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It was a hellish 10 yrs. I had a minor surgery to fix it and the pain was gone for good! The tear was so tiny 12 previous docs didn't even see it on an exray. During those years I had pain in both arms, most of my back and both legs. I thought if the fibro dx & your disc injury happened at the same time that might be a possible answer. just throwing it out.
You have been through a lot with that list of conditions. That can't be easy. I have multiple conditions and having this place to vent is extremely helpful. Also to learn, I've been back on the site for a few weeks now and have learn several new things. you can ask just about anything and get some answers.
Take care of yourself!!
