Hello and welcome RS2320! A spinal fusion surgery is no joke and can require a good while for recovery. All the best to you my friend and I hope you feel back to normal soon!

Hope everyone is doing well tonight. Â Have been a lurker as a guest for a while and figured now was as good a time as ever to get involved.
Long time athlete, but my back took a turn for the worse about 2.5 years ago. Â
First surgery October 2014 with the most recent being in December m.
Had a diskectomy in 2014 and a spinal fusion 2 months ago. Â
I have found through this entire process that pharmacies and Drs. Can look at you a certain way when filling any types of recurring pain meds. Â It's really become a shame.Â
Open invite to give me a shout to just bs and hope you do get to know you all better in the near future

Â Unless you have a terminal illness, comfort and day to day living are not high on the healthcare professional's list. To find dr's that really are willing to help is a minimum. Â The pharmacies, especially the corporate ones don't really care either. Â They have their rules, no refills more than 48hours which is now becoming a law and tracked. Ultimately everyone is so concerned with people abusing their scripts( which I understand) that it really hinders the people that are in real need.Â(02-19-2016, 07:46 AM)RS2320 Wrote: [ -> ]Hi,
