Hello guys :) Nice to meet you all
 

Well let me start. I'm 27 and on June 14, 2007 I was injured at Bristol Motor Speedway and have a prolapsed disc and nerve damage. I had never taken pain medication on a regular basis, only for say dentist visits and the like. My life as an ironworker is over, and chronic pain has really changed my life. "Quality of life" has been a new thing for me, as I've always been in great shape and took great care of myself.

I go and see an anesthesiologist Tuesday because my I asked my primary care physician what my options were, because my medication isn't as effective as before.
