Hi there.
Im Henrik from Copenhagen Denmark. I have read your story and wish you luck. But i also wanted to tell you that i too have had back problems. I have had 2 sergurys. And suffer from nerve damage.
I know it looks like you are in a hole and never get out, but im here to tell you to never give up. Keep fighting and you will get to the other side. I am in pain every day, but i am back to work doing bodywork on cars. I need morfin to keep me upright, but i dont care. My body is not to keep me from doing what i like. You learned to live with the pain, and learned to do things differently. I Might look odd when i work but i get the job done.
I hope things work out for you. Regards Henrik.
PS If they offer you oxycontin or similar pills, take it from me stay away from them. They will get you hoked and the withdravl when you need rehap is worse than any pain. They told me that i would not get adicted to them, bullshit it took me a long time to get out of them. I use a different kind now.

Re: am new member from joliet il · by 74 beast Sun Jan 24, 2016 5:32 pm

The new pill regimen is 2 vicodin plus all my high blood preasure meds in morning then 1 oxcotin and 1 valium all before noon. Then every 4 hrs 2 more vicodins about 6 pm 1 more valium. About 8pm 1 more oxcotin thatdoesnt count 18 pills a day of gabapentin which is for nerve pain thats max dose of 3600 mg and at this time doc wants me not to walk at all. Just bed bathroom or couch and i hope i finish car soon if not who ever wants to help me i would enjoy a few more hands under the hood

Re: am new member from joliet il · by knightfan26917 Mon Jan 25, 2016 12:43 am

I'd help with the car, Jeff, but I'm afraid you'd have to buy a new one after I did any work on it ... LOL.

Thoughts/prayers continuing, of course.....

well yesterday had a steroid injection to my lower back to help relieve the nerve pain it lasted maybe 3 hours which means it didn't work when I was last at the surgeons I was told I had and big bone spurs they were putting pressure on the nerve my lower back which explains all the pain and leg weakness so I go back to the surgeon on the 16th to be honest I hope will do surgery to remove the bone spurs but way the insurance works this Bill months to 6 weeks away so I hope that's the avenue they're going to take today I noticed that I think if the insurance company may have hired a pi to tail me I was in Menards at the time of the day when it's mostly us working class stiffs when I noticed someone who Justin kind of didnt fit in most the times when am in the stores at the use the scooters to get around cuz I can't walk I couldnt use one because someone was using it so so Here I am looking at some stuff si this same guy almost bumped into me but made it habit look me dead in the face well this Menards is in a giant plaza so my bank is in the same place I get my haircut are all in the same as i came out from get a hair or 2 cut this blackhawk with very dark tinted windows started up and as I got into mine car kind of follewed me out of that lot and watched people into the bank parking lot I made sure whoever was in that car that I notice they know i notice them it was kinda easy to see i was being follwed i ll have keep my eyes open

Those a$$holes. They can't afford to help you with the medical bills, but they sure as hell can afford to hire a PI to tail you around. God, I hate health insurance companies.

If they did, the PI is terrible at his job. You would have never seen a good one.

Re: am new member from joliet il · by Hs1973 Tue Feb 09, 2016 1:12 pm

Sometimes life just sucks, but If it can help you i can tell you that you are not alone. The last 12 years have been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. My son died at birth. My back gave up and i had severel operations that only made things worse. My mother Got cancer like yours. My wife Lots her job and i Lost my business. My best friend killed himself, and i Lost another close friend to accident. And i could keep on going. My point is you need to keep fighting. Things will get better. You did not do anything to get whats coming. Its just life, someday you be on the other side. Im sure others will say the same.

Re: am new member from joliet il · by 74 beast Thu Feb 11, 2016 1:05 am

Re: am new member from joliet il · by Hs1973 Thu Feb 11, 2016 1:16 pm

Hang on to that. If it makes you want to keep on fighting, its what you need to do.
