Hi Muzza001,

Wellcome to our forums!

Sorry you are feeling this way….I understand it would be difficult for you…

Have you been able to speak to a pain management specialist about your pain? Or your gp?

Here to chat

[Muzza001]

Yes both waiting for a orthopaedic surgeon appointment now

[Muzza001]

Also taking very strong pain meds. For a long time and have become addicted to them look like u have to have a double fusion surgery

Sorry to hear that Muzza001, I understand that pain medication can be addictive but it all depends on your quality of life…… if the pain medication helps you then I think that’s a good thing…….. you just need to learn how to manage the medication……do the specialists think the fusion will help?

Have you ever tried meditation?
