Hi everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I have been suffering with chronic back pain and neuropathic pain for over 5 years. As far as I know, the problems are congential. I had a bilateral Laminectomy, Foraminotomy and Discectomy at L5-S1 in June 2007.
I still suffer from chronic pain and nerve pain down all extremities, and have weakness in my left leg and occasionally in hands.

Hope to meet some people dealing with the same problems.

Default GREETINGs

Jack..I am also chronic pain...since 2004. Recently had a surgery which has finally given me some relief, enough that I can get along with oral pain meds. I was told by the surgeon, it won't last forever...but getting a break, even a brief one is a blessing.

when the pain was helped by meds...my only other recorse was music!
