Hi, and welcome to the community! Sometimes it's a bit slow here on the weekend, so don't get discouraged if you don't get a bunch of responses right away! It's a good place, and I think you'll find folks that have much in common with you!
Have you found our Spinal Disorders & Back Pain forum yet? If not, here's the link:

Feel free to jump in anywhere, though!
