[cerealkurs]

I got into a car accident over 3 years ago when I was 18 and I'm suffering from chronic back pain, and since the accident I've gotten anxiety and depression. I've gone through different physical therapies, chiropractor, injections, x-rays, MRI's, massage therapy (which helped a little bit) and finally a discoagraphy. I finally found out that my L3-L4 disc is in bad shape and the only way to fix it would be spinal fusion. I'm very nervous about the surgery. I've read stories from people that have had good and bad experiences with the surgery. I haven't decided to get the surgery yet but I would like alot more information. Every morning I wake up dreading getting out of bed because I hurt so much. Some of the pain was bearable but now it seems like the pain is getting worse every day. I'm currently on pain meds but I'd like to get off of them before I become addicted but if I stopped taking them before I got better I don't think I could deal with the pain alone. If anyone has any information, stories, or anything you think could be helpful, I'd greatly appreciate it.
