Long story..

Let's just say living in constant pain really sucks... and you can call that just the opening sentence to a whole bunch of stuff.

hey stu is nerve burn an option? it won't fix the problem but it can mitigate the pain without the pills

Okay.. I am willing to listen

What kind of pain.. physical, emotional or what? My pm is open.. I can be your friend hehe.. but I guess I am not welcome in your pm .. anyway, we can still chat here

Nerve burn??

Medicare probably wouldn't approve it. They wouldn't approve an mri on my right shoulder for a possible torn rotator cuff because the xray showed the joint was bone on bone...

And if they burned all the nerves that need it, I'd be a puddle of goo...

Yeah, I'd have to send you one first.. got tired of all the 30somethings that weren't real sending me pm..

Maybe later.. it's really to much to type on a phone in pm... I'm about to have to stop now as it is.

well iwasn't think all but maybe targeting the worst areas

angel they can burn nerve endings with laser to stop them from working. it is getting very common in chronic pain cases especially back pain

Can't understand but I think it's reqlly painful.. I hope you become well... I will pray when I go back to sleep.. God is able.. he can comfort you

Dang Eric.. I'd still be a puddle of goo...

Hey.. cool band name.. puddle of goo..


Or is it already in use?

not at all angel that is why they do it.

not sure stu lol but it would be.
i would at least bring it up w/ the doc next visit

Ah so that's the purpose of filter.. I think I want to do that too.. I also have lots of pm but I am replying only to 4.. all from the forums.. I also hate it.. not deleting just ignoring.. now it's 300 plus...

Just think if all the soft tissue between your joints wasnt there or were quickly wearing out that keeps bones from touching each other, including spinal discs..

I understand it now.. thanks

Yep, that's the purpose of the filters..

hey stu i have this new injectable teflon that sets up pretty quick you can try

It might be worth asking the doc Stu

Well, when the disc blew in my neck, the doctor told me he would need to do surgery immediately, but, all that would probably happen is that because I have a perfectly straight neck, the weight of my bulbous head would just blow another one. He said I'm fighting a loosing battle.

Plus there are two blown in my lower back.. knees are worn out, hands, now my hips are getting in on the act..

I've been told basically I have no choice but to live with it.. not a very good prognosis

Anyway, time for a break.. hand is hurting from holding this phone. .

See you later Stu

i do understand the reluctance to operate syndrome but that is not the same as pain mitigation. and in the last 4 or 5 years there are a ton of non narcotic alternatives and they are gaining traction with insurers because they actually work out cheaper in the long run
