You are inspiration!!!!! Yes there is always hope.! I did go the surgery route, and had alot of pain left over. I found a new kind of Doctor called a physiatrist. Treats at a cellular level, to help with neruopathic pain. She is also a pain specialist. I got to stop taking narcotic after 10 years. There is hope that someone can get better! I take a host of suppliments, and they help. Good for you for never giving up.!~! Glad you found Neruo Talk. To get this story of yours gives all back sufferers a positive outlook. I hope you continue to have a great life. This type of message is good for all of us. ginnie
