Hello all,
I'm glad to be a member here again of this community and look forward to all the discussions.. I was recently injured at work and currently awaiting a spinal surgery ("Laminectomy"). I did not want the discectomy as I'm in my early 30s.. I've had terrible pain lately and figured I might get some help from all of you here at ioplist. Thanks to admin for your help. Not sure if anyone here would remember me.. I wasn't ever doing much posting as I was reading. But, now that I can not work and have plenty of time on my hands, I can provide plenty of feedback rather than before. Glad to be back!
Good day to you misterbeefy!
Welcome back to THE forum...
Welcome back to the best forum on the web for our topic..

Looking forward to your posts.
New? maybe it was the older site i forgot what it was called. it was like the pioneer of iop forums.. thought it was you guys. Anyways, I was once a member lol. Thanks for all the warm welcomes! (oh and I am reading the rules now, ty)
Yea the injury is only half of it.. I'm dealing with about 3-4 lawyers (PI, Disability, WC) and countless doctors. Not to mention I was already diagnosed with GAD, SAD, and PTSD about 15+ years ago. I thought I was dead when I woke up but there was no blood on my hands. I was pistol whipped when I fought back, I was 16 and 3 people were in my house when I got home. Now, I am still humble.. I am blessed to be alive. The MVA was at work so I can actually get the surgery right now, I'm still contemplating it as they just told me last week.
I have been a part of most major forums. and this is the third ioplist. but this is ioplist.org and we have ethics. we don't take money from vendors.
so, 15 yrs ago, when u were 16, u were attacked in ur own home? You are blessed to be alive. If a criminal is willing to pistol whip a man of 16, usually they go farther. (Don't mind me. Disabled attorney here. And, minister, which is why I do forums.)
I am so sorry what u encountered. Both earlier and at work if I am reading this correctly.
We are all glad u r blessed to be alive. And, here.
So, yes, I am sure we ran into each other at the various forums. I changed names all the time, but for one time and boy that error came back to bite me in the arse. Its a Gaelic expression. We all say arse.
So, its a privilege and honor to meet you. May u find all that u r seeking.
Welcome to the family and may u be blessed now with good attorneys and even better doctors.

Thankyou, yes you got it right.. and yes the story did continue. The kid that sent his hooligans into my house was a highschool friend that I had recently let in my home (sort of "parents gone party").
They eventually broke into the wrong house when one of my good highschool friends/family were sleeping. He was a drug dealer at the time and they thought it was gonna be easy.
Needless to say, it was far from easy with him. My friends family woke up to these people and they are very liberal with their firearms.. my friend grabbed one of his ridiculous guns he had at the time (idk what it was but he got charged for having it) and after shots back and forth his dad got hit and the kids ran, ran so fast one of the dummys dropped his wallet.
They're in prison still and hopefully enjoying our 30-60k$ a year tax dollars. They were ruthless, there was a small child in the house!.. pretty crazy story.
Not to mention I was in a high school shooting, I would say which school but I'm not comfortable with that.
Anyway, I have since moved farrr away and and living a very peaceful life on the water with nothing but family around. I do have trust issues which I would say are justified. I'm sure we have met on previous boards I changed my name as well many times. Again thank you for having me as part of your family here. Just set this as my homepage
I am sorry. I am glad u have some security and peace now.
Will lift you in prayer as you make your decision on current treatment.

I'm relatively new to this forum so I can't give you a lot of information about the forum that the more advanced members can. What I'd say is whenever you feel you may wish to talk about the prospect of surgery - post in the pain section of the forum - yes, back surgery is daunting. How are you sleeping? How are you managing with eating proper meals?
Best possible.. I've lost about 20 pounds due to the fact i had to cancel my gym membership and started drinking heavily for a while. It was depressing to not be able to work or exercise. I'm slowly getting better with the eating.. I have quit drinking and only smoke medical mj. Without cannabis & benzo's I think Id be dead by now or lost my mind. Thanks for the info! I will check out the pain/surgery section on my ipad, its easier to type but the desk is hell on my back.. if that makes sense, gotta take frequent smoke breaks anyway
I have a super hyperactive metabolism. If I dont eat 5-10 times a day I will lose weight. But with a little help from my girl mary I can gain 10lbs back in a week, easy. My Doc knows he just says eat and make yourself eat again. As far as sleep goes I have no pattern, usually dependant on when the pain is lower. I love Kratom, I try to avoid the 'hard' opiates (I am interested in opiates.. just moderate amounts, I've seen a lot of people lose control). I order about 1lb of kratom powder every week or so and it works wonders! I won't take any pk's stronger than tramadol unless I'm out of Kratom (Love my Red Maeng Da). Hopefully big pharma doesnt get a hold of this miracle plant. With the right source you can get up to 50x the analgesic relief morphine gives you. It's not the euphoria I'm after though.. well sometimes every is, right?
