Sir- Issue is a L4L5 rupture 20 years ago- they did a micro disk piece removal- then a fusion and I paid for the removal of the hardware. Ive dropped my self from 150 m of fentanyl to a 12 and a 25 or 37 total. However Im 62 good shape 170 lbs and its killing me-mentally if nothing else. This I believe was initiated when I was in the military - SAR teams 76- jumping out of helicopters hitting the water in full gear saving lives. None the less it is very problematic to me at this time.
Im working out 3 days a week following my therapeutic advisers advice- Im really trying to live. Im afraid should I quit one thing they will be forced to put me back on pills set which I hate- its the hurt thats causing the problem with the patches-over like 20 years first three days then two days then one day-Im getting into a bad way. Im going to see anyone I can as I believe its a nerve causing this. I have insurance however the va has picked it up and are giving me like 15 steroid shots in my back to stop spasms. I am going this week to another doctor Brain &amp; Spine Neurosurgeons Atlanta Georgia- in another attempt to see any help. I know its hard I don't expect much. thank you brian
