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
