Hi, I have DDD and hurt 24/7. I often pray to God for just five minutes with no pain. I have 3 ruptured disc, 2 herniations, a couple of tears and dry disc along with scoliosis. However I am able to sit for long periods of time so I have a job training people how to use medical billing software. I take 60 mg of morphine daily and spend allot of time trying to stay awake. I do not have health insurance because I let my cobra laspe and now fall into pre-existing condition. I have a great faith which keeps me going. Somedays are hardier than some of course. I stay slim because my doc said weight would be very hard on my spine. Standing is something I can not do, if I am on my feet I feel tremendous pressure then horrible pain. |

I know how you feel Donna, we all do. Oh for only 5 minutes of pain free life again. But it doesnt come does it. I have alot wrong with my back too and getting ready for another surgery. Hopefully this one will be easier than the last few. I wish I could get slimmed down too, I know that help with the back probs, but no matter what I do I just cant seem to lose the weight. Still trying though. Its a miracle that you can still work, I commend you for that. Some days I cannot even do the littlest bit of housework, just lay here in pain. And then when I do feel good enough to do things I usually over do it and am layed up for days. I wish you the best , and keep coming here, it is our home where we are understood. hugs and prayers, marleigh |
