Hi,
Hope everyone is doing well tonight.  Have been a lurker as a guest for a while and figured now was as good a time as ever to get involved.
Long time athlete, but my back took a turn for the worse about 2.5 years ago.  
First surgery October 2014 with the most recent being in December m.

Had a diskectomy in 2014 and a spinal fusion 2 months ago.  
I have found through this entire process that pharmacies and Drs. Can look at you a certain way when filling any types of recurring pain meds.  It's really become a shame. 
Open invite to give me a shout to just bs and hope you do get to know you all better in the near future

Hey! I was a lurker guest for a while as well. I know how your feeling had my surgery in Jan of 2015 after a terrible fall at work, which removed my arm from the socket. After all the therapy and surgeries there is pain that will be forever with the extensive nerve damage. It's a tough time to be in any pain in the world! I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts as every day is a struggle. Hopefully you are finding new ways to cope
