dejablue here,
Was wanting to know if any other person on this forum has had major changes to their lives? I had an accident on my lower back in 1994 and had a slipped disc that would slip in and out when ever it wanted and effected the worst pain with the siatic nerve. I tried not to have surgery but only lasted till 1996. I was nervous about surgery but could not handle the pain and the nagging wife. I can say that now because I am divorced also because of my back injury. With my luck, it was a failed bone fusion. I was back to work by I think 1998 and just kept getting worse but controled with pain meds.(I have had them all) from blocks to burning of the nerves. In 2002 I could go no more but still tried because of me not wanting to let my wife down. It is hard with no family support. I do blame my divorce on my back injury and though it is through workmans comp, I feel I will never get any closure on my life. I am going to have another surgery after detox. Has anyone went through detox before back surgery and how did it go?
