Back Pain Support Group

i am new to this but my friend said this will help i just found out 7 months ago that a disk had ruptured in my neck and hooked my spinal cord well the doc said i had to have surgery or there would be no more walking for me so i did i had 2 doner bones put in and a metal plate with 4 screws put in back still in pain now i am having headaches they get worse with everyday that passes i am feeling things that just went numb a long time ago

Thefirst thing is to welcome you to our place, the second is to tell you how sorry I am that you are having so much trouble after your surgery. Can I ak how long its been since the surgery? And have you spoke to the Dr about the problems you have had? If he is not giving you any kind of advice or even explaination then find one who will. Don't just let it go baby, it might just be some of the recoup time sort of things that happen but it also might be a problem, so GO, find out whats happening and then please let me know how you are. If you need to talk, I am here to do just that. You can pm me or just thru the posts, if I don't answer right away never worry, I just probably checking in on my daughter and my new grandson hehe, had to get that in there. Again welcome to our family and we look forward to hearing from you.

Amy, welcome to our little world. I suffer from my back going out, not in the league you are in. You may want to see some one that specializes in pain management. My wife had spinal surgery and they took out the wrong disk. she is in constant pain, is now disabled. She is on heavy pain meds, and get pain blocks a few times a year. Just a thought

well amy sounds like your past the recovery stage so now its time to start doing some investigating. Always keep trying to find ways to make your situation better, maybe they won't help but what you have to say is "What if they do work"? please keep me posted and I look forward to hearing from you.
