Frown I'm new
:) Hi to all, I'm Frances from Alabama, 43 3 kids ( 19-18-8). I have a "Thered Spine" no "Chari" and a "Syrinx". My 1st back surgery was 6yrs ago this month, now I'm afraid it's time for another . I've still lived with pain, but the last 2-3 months have been really bad. I've taken Lortab 7.5, and for 6 years never run out before the refill date, most of the time some left, the last 3 months I have run out 6 to 10 days before time to refill. Those days were soooo bad, all I could do was lay in bed and cry with pain, I tryed the heating paid and ice-packs, pain patches nothing helped. I go back to my Surgen on the 14th, I vowed to never have another back surgery, at this point I would have 2 to releave just some of this pain.
Is there anyone who fills the same way? At times I think I'm crazy, getting hooked on pain pills, and a weamp. I get tired of complaing, fill like my faily thinks I'm a hypocrondact(spelling ?). There is times I'd just like to talk to someone who knows what I fill.

Welcome to NT....my heart really goes out you...I have back problems of a different kind. I'm not sure what your's is but will be looking it up real quick. I had my fifth back surgery a month ago. I didn't want to do it but the pain was really starting to take over my life. I had some epidural's and they helped for a while.

I hope you doc and do something for you...at least get you on a better pain killer...one that lasts more than 4 hours. I also vowed I would never have another surgery again. Things are going well for being a month out. I have my good days and bad days...it really depends on me and how I pace myself.

Prayers to ya!!!
