Hi my name is Jennifer, I currently live in Virginia, but I am moving
back to California in a few weeks. I have had 6 fushions. Four in my
neck, and two in my lower back. I suffer from extreme pain and am
unable to work. It took me three years to receive Social Security
Disability Insurance. Are any of you guys unable to work as well?
Medications do not keep from working as much as the pain just stops me
in my tracks. I've been approved for a surgery, an implantable pain
pump. Does anyone have one of these? I'm so glad there are others I
can talk to about this. I would appreciate any information you guys
have.
Thanks,
Jennifer
