Hello Raymond.

Just wanted to say welcome. Have you been to a pain management specialist?. There are so many ways to manage pain today. Some are very successful, some not, and then you go to the next level. It's a pain in the butt( no pun intended).

My husband has had epidurals (with no effect). I think his next option might be a spinal cord stimulator but he's not rushing into this.

I most certainly wish you well. And I hope you get relief for your pain.

Take care,

Melody
