@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, at least you can get around some! We have to do what we have to do! Now they want to do your shoulders? I think that's a little bit risky, how are you going to get around with out the use of your arms? And they want to do both at the same time, I think that's crazy! Take care of yourself, no body else will! Hugs to you

racingfan3, boy you have thru alot of surgeries, I can't imagine having all of the surgeries! I've never been operated on except for my C-section when my kids were born! That was only 2X! I'm glad that you are getting better! Are you able to walk? With a walker? It's nice to have your freedom! Have a good day! I hope it a low pain day! Hugs

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, I'm sorry that you have had so many major surgeries! Hip replacement isn't an easy operation, I had a client that had to have one! I'm a home health aide. How old are you? She was 83 and it took sometime to heal! She is basically wheelchair bound! My heart goes out to you! Keep in touch! Hugs

AFTER a suspected failed double fusion (L 3,4,5) I discovered that they fail 50% of the time. It's very painful and contributes to the current state I find myself. I've been using peppermint essential oil and chiropractic care as well as acupuncture. I believe things are improving.

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, I'm glad that, that helps you! Hey I know the feeling I've been there and done that! If your conciptaped doesn't you lower back hurt, mine does and it's right where I have fibromayalgia! I have heard about prune juice, I really don't like the taste, so that won't help me! Good luck! Hugs
