very intersting read.
No pre accident LBP. Was very physically active. Sports, Hiking and Outdoors...Medium in stature not heavy in no means. I was 36 when I was in MVA. Hit at very high speed. Had pain all over, including LB but did not settle into real troubles until 3rd month No sign of real damage - that is - where the damage is today at 43... PT, injections, physiatry, stabalization, and later at 39 discogram shows up as herniated S1 L5, bulge L5 L4. 39 - Micro Disectomy 39 - Rhizo Many injections between 36 - 42 yrs age. Have tried all methods of pain relief. Cannot stand very long, bend, twist, lots of hip and buttocks pain. ....and it seemed to land in sacro joint. The docs lay claim they can do nothing because nothing shows on film...severe stenosis at S1 L5 bilateral. Or they are messing me over and telling me it is age not the car MVA. (My thoughts are that lifting the disc might be of great help i.e. facets, foramen etc) My location and description sometimes sounds like Luvmysibe. Thx. |

since i was 18 when i grew 9inches in a summer,weakened my spine around L4-L5, then
at 24 i had a spinal tap, where my disc was injected with the dye by mistake and blew out,i had a laminectomy at that level and was in major pain ever since,running from the thought of many fusions like my neurosurgeon said i'd be in for the remainder of my life, that scared the heck out of me til i met Delamarter in 2002, i was 47

I was 34 and never knew what caused my back problems. Had herniated disc, out of work 6 weeks, got better. It progressed over the years to DDD at L5/S1. Had many years of playing hard tennis, bike riding and scuba diving since first occurrence..it all just came to a head this past July. Had Charite surgery last week and am doing well!
Hey, second life (free of back pain) begins at 41, right? Kim |

I was 14, I fell doing a lay up and had my feet knocked out from under me and fell right on my tailbone. I had periodic pain though school, continued with sports, basketball, softball, field hockey and cheerleading with the mind set no pain no gain.
At 26 I had my son. After giving birth my pain went from periodic to severe muscle spasms to severe pain. After trying everything under the sun and 5 years of being a "pin cushion" waiting for ADR my facets deteriorated leaving me with the option of a 2 level 360 fusion at the age of 34. I hope my next 20 years are a bit more pain free. So far, so good!!
