My blog is about the "silent epidemic" as it is called Chronic Pain. The truth about chronic pain is that it knows no age limits or racial barriers. There are 73 million people in this country suffering from this deadly and unrelenting disease. I hope to call attention to the under treatment and stigma of chronic pain and the people who suffer just like me. I welcome your feedback and comments.
JUST REMEMBER, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I posted anything on my blog, but it hasn't stopped you folks from reading. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has read and left messageses. There is actually a lot of information an it and I plan to start writing again, but probably not as frequent. I stopped because it got so hard to write about pain when you are in so much pain. we will see how it goes.

The information on this blog is my own views based on living with Chronic Pain for 25 years and my dealings with the medical system in this country. These are my own words and my blog is in no way endorsed by any of the websites that I have linked to in my favorite websites. Dr. Charles Burton, of http://www.burtonreport.com/, has been kind enough to allow me to use some material from his site. This material will appear in quotes with a link back to the relevant page of his site. I encourage all who have spinal problems to study his information.
My anger and frustration with failed surgeries and other envasive procedures that have only caused more chronic pain for people like myself has motivated me to put my life of chronic pain into words. I also have done research on this topic for 18 years and though I am not a medical Doctor, my words are based on provable information.
My primary reason for even publishing this blog, is hoping to draw attention to the under treatment of Chronic Pain of the 60 million people in this country who suffer so much to the Politicans and Physicians in this Country.

pain management new york saved my vacation! I literally threw out my back handling my luggage when my family and I arrived in NY. I couldn’t recommend them more!
I am thankful to have come across this when I did. I suffer from chronic low back pain since a fall. I am currently pregnant, so all meds have been removed except Tylenol 3, that's not doing a thing. Let me explain a little further, my OB is acaring person, he didn't take me off all my meds, a new Dr in their practice did. I had gone into the hospital after a "slide" down 4 steps at home, that fall further damaged my already destroyed back. In the hospital, they treated me and were kind until this new Dr came in. She told me she was stopping all the medications because I was an addict. I couldnt figure out wat was going on, I mean my OB never said anything like that, my pcp never said that, but this lady said no one takes meds like that and us not an addict. After that I was aced on tylen 3 and sent home. Since then I am in agony. I cannot get put of bed. My life is gone. I was barely treating the pain prior to this, now my life is a living hell. I don't know what to do. I have an appt with my OB on Thursday, it's Sunday. How do I survive from now until then in such agony? My pcp handed my treatment to my OB at the start of my pregnancy. I am tired of chronic pain. Tired of all the baggage that comes with it. I am so tired of being afraid of the pain being so severe. I am thankful I am not alone. Until I found this today, I felt just that. Alone. Chronic pain is so real, I am disgusted that Drs such as the above are allowed to talk to patients that way.
I just wanted to let you know your profile picture is so sweet! I'm glad you have a little furry buddy to help ease your pain. :)
Welcome back, many of your previous posts are so relevant and well thought out. The more people blogging, the better, because infomration is so important to those suffering from chronic pain and any hope that can be gleaned is wonderful.
