I found your website by accident and decided to join in hopes to both help and learn from others who are going through similar circumstances. I have been battling back issues since the early 90's and have been through every kind of treatment, therapy available since that point. 2011 has proved to be a very stressful year for me in many ways and upon finding this site, I hope to find much needed support and strength to draw upon as I recover from my most recent surgery; trial and permanent placement of the SCS, this past week.
