Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hi My name is Joan and I live in Toronto, Ont.. I am living with chronic pain since June 2003?Had a MRI and the results were not good. The pain is the spine: degenerating disc, herniated disc, osteoporosis, and arthritics. In addition, I have high blood pressure plus pulmonary hypertension (phen ?fen caused it) and top of all have fibromyalgia. The back specialist will not doing anything for the disc?told me wear a back brace?and follow up pain management with my GP?It bothers me how a specialist can be cold?and not to tell me my prognosis for the future.. I am 45 years and have two kids who need me.. My husband understands my limitations regarding the housework. I have a small business at home and will not let the pain get into my way. However, I want to know when a herniated disc will heal? This is frustrating for me; 24-hour pain?worse time is night. I have not a decent sleep in ages. Thank you for understanding and hope to post often. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
