Has anyone had reverse shoulder replacement surgery?
I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders (2yrs apart) many years ago. Now doctors are telling me the surgeries have failed and I need shoulder replacement surgery on both. I just finished… read more
My husband told me that Pres. Trump said he’d like to do away with half of all pain meds use! I’ve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30’s since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable . I’ve been on them straight since then , Oct 21st at 1:10 pm ,1997. You don’t forget the date that changed your life. I’ve been treated like a drug seeker all my life on meds. Once and awhile you’ll find a dr who knows pain… read more
Hey Kiddo, Believe half of what you HEAR and all of what you SEE!! If Trump wants to be president--he knows--the drugs are for street use. That is what he wants to stop. We have to believe in… read more
I know that they are bad people out there, but we are not one of them, and yet we get treated like we are bad, because we are in pain and what helps us is being decided by people who do not feel what we do
I don't get tired of explaining why I have to take meds but I do get so tired/fed up/p****d off by the ignorant brainless uneducated reactions of people to my explanation!
Have never had them...but Dr wants to start treatment.
Like so many here, I have to agree. I avoid them sticking any needles into my neck, back or anything related as I have never had a good experience with them.. I have a very high threshold to standing… read more
Hello, I have had 5 previous back surgeries with fusions. I recently got a knee replacement 12/18/17. I am now having terrible back muscle spasms and sciatic nerve pain. I know it takes some getting used to but this is bad, Its hindering my recovery. I had to lie all day Monday because of this. Now coming up the steps it screamed at me. Its makes me yell out so much zinging pain.
I had my 1st total knee Oct 2016. It went so well. Even to this day!! My other, left knee tortured me up until Dec 2022, when my retiring Ortho did the total knee. From the minute I woke up I was in… read more
I was told I needed this surgery but only 50% chance it would help with a 4 month recovery. Thanks for your feedback.
I had arthroscopic surgery on both hips (left, 2012 and right, 2016). It took me a very long time to recover from the first one because I wasn't yet treating the underlying inflammation from… read more
I'm looking for anyone's experience dealing with SI joint pain. I've had problems with my SI joints for years and I've injections & radiofrequency ablations done. At this point nothing is helping. I've had 2 lumbar fusions so I'm sure there's more stress being putting on the SI joints. The past few years have been really tough. 2 lumbar fusion surgeries. 2 hip replacement surgeries, 1 revision surgery on knee replacement and surgery to put in spinal cord stimulator. All since May 2016. Had… read more

At least 6 months I have been having incredible pain in the highest area of my thighs. (like where it is attached to the body) Sometimes I can't even walk for several minutes. This is my newest whiney butt and I have no idea what's going on.
Thanks for any info.
I've recently begun having upper thigh burning pain so bad that one morning I did not think I could make it out of bed to make to across the hall to bathroom. I was literally crying and screaming with… read more
