Hello all,

My journey started approximately 4 years ago.

1. Surgery #1...…..stenosis(failed)
2. Surgery #2...…..TRIPLE fusion lower vertebrate
3. Surgery #3...…..spinal sleeve to straighten out osteoporosis as a result of fusion

As a result of all these surgeries, I cant walk more than 1minute without being in excruciating pain. Forgot to tell that as a result of inactivity from back issues, I put on about 60lbs. I refuse any more back surgeries so my PCP suggested look into Bariatric Surgery.

So I'm doing it more for medical reasons than anything else.

Yes, I would think in your situation that surgery could only help. Have you checked into a spinal cord stimulator? I've heard great things about them. There is a group called surviving chronic pain in Facebook, you can ask what others have done in your situation. Best of luck!

thanks...………….good suggestion
