Chronic Pain
"Yo Fellow Pain Endurers ~
    34 yrs. suffering Severe chronic pain from 10 hr. preventive surgery &amp; 5 Disc Fusion re: rare Diastematomyelia, Tethered Cord &amp; resulting Scoliosis. Tried every known Therapy/treatment. Avoided ALL meds for 29 mind-bending yrs. &#039;till I was @ life&#039;s end. 
   Enter Pain Mgmt.: 7 various spinal blocks + Gabapentin/ Prednisone/Tramadol/ Butrans/ Oxy/ Methadone ~ ONLY relief came from high Morphine IM/MS Contin &amp; Fentanyl IM/Patch.  I HATE meds BUT they have SAVED MY LIFE.  Literally. (ya&#039;ll know what I mean) Thank God!!!  Peace out.  Matt"
