I seek no sympathy, I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. Also several guys did not survive it, so I'm lucky. However, those that also suffer will get it. It is raining here, and my hips are a liquid fire. My back hurts so bad that I can not get a good breath, got to pant...It's going to be a long, long night.

Sounds like not a fun night. Hope it went ok.

Thanks y'all, it started backing off about 4. Usually takes a really big storm to be more than an annoying ache. I don't know why that rain was so bad on me , wasn't a particularly strong low. At least not way down here.

Sorry you have to go thru all of that stuff. Try to take it easy for a few days.

You'd think that back pain would be something the VA was expert at.

JJ if I had money I'd buy you a hot tub.

Hope it passes soon.

You'd think. I've been a VA patient for back pain for over 15 years. Their remedy, either operate (which makes it worse 9 outa 10 times), or throw drugs at you. I refuse to go under a knife myself, atleast I can still walk. Their other option is to tell you to lose weight. I lost 60 lbs, did not make a difference, once the damage is done, it's done. I feel for jj, we are both in the same (sinking) boat.

yep when your back is gone it is gone surgery makes it worse

Yeah SWMBO kept after me to get surgery 'till I let her talk to the doc, to find the probable out come. He told her probably a 75% chance it'll be much worse after surgery. My attitude is; as long as I can still walk, they ain't gettin near me with a knife.

I was told "I'll do more damage trying to repair it than if you just leave it alone" by my back specialist. Last summer my GP offered to send me for a lumbar injection. Given the bad outcomes in recent years, I declined that also.

I had 3 different neurosurgeons from 3 different hospitals tell me the same thing. I would put you in a wheelchair if i did surgery now. When your in one i will see if anything can be done. For the thorax region there is nothing they can do. What a ride it has been time for a nice single malt scotch

I had minor back problems for years and it got so bad when I was driving a big truck that I had to find some type of relief. Went to a specialist and had a frank talk opted to have surgery was pain free for a number of years but now I find that with to much walking or standing I have a little pain but not as bad as before (my 2 cents).
