My life isn't easy, but I cherish everything now and I am all that i can be. That a painkiller!

Hi ,
I am new to the site and am your namesake. I read your posting and was very inspired. I am a very keen skier both on hill and backcountry. This all came crashing to a halt 3 years ago...simple ACL tear on a great powder day with my son..then 3 years of hell with a neuropathic pain syndrome brought on by arthroscopy. Tried just about every medicine and therapy known to man. haven't been able to work in the ER since and just about all physical activity has stopped .. I've had 2 trials of SCS with so so results and am being considered for DRG stim. I will read more of your story if you direct me where as I suspect I have a lot to be inspired by and learn from your experience . I suspect we have similar backgrounds and paths . Thats why I chose the name Mdinpain2
