I don't understand your posts sorry, they just do not make sense, I, as well as a lot of people on this forum live with chronic pain daily and take meds, and still manage to do things for themselves. I am not sure what surgery you had because I'm confused reading your posts, I had a 3 level ACDF C4-C7 with titanium plate and six screws, have the double crush sydrome with C3-4 herniation and C7-8 herniated, ostoephytes at C4-5, C6-7, radiculopathy both arms down to my hands, and I developed TOS, yes my pain is a constant 7-8 daily, but with all issues and pain I still try to accomplish something to make me feel I am being productive in life even if it hurts..
And I am still trying to figure out if was actually you or your daughter that made the salad? Again I mean no disrespect, and there are many knowledgeable people on this forum with chronic pain that still lead productive lives in pain. Again my ? is who made the salad?
