pain management on the science channel, Need info Lucky me was in the kitchen trying to coax a glass of milk out of a jug and thought I overheard them advertising a show about opioids and there uses in chronic pain. I figure there will be a bit in there to get the people who are out of options riled up again. If my surgery of 4 weeks ago doesn't keep getting better, I may be one as well. AT any rate, I still usually learn something.
Mostly I need a clarification of time, channel and subject matter.
Low back pain became somewhat dehabilitating in 2005
Have had 11 steroid injections, IDET, Trial for nerve stimulator, PT, chiropractic trial, practically every med known to mankind. Discogram indicated three diseased levels with L5-S1 being the most likely pain generator. Post minimally invasive PLIF with internal fixation (titanium) on 12-28-09 of L5-S1. Doing better than expected. Last opioid 7/9/10. Five months pain free, then my neck turned against me. MRI on 12/1/10-- disease at C2 to C7. Only surgical alternative is to fuse entire C-spine. Diagnosed now with Aggressive Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis with cord & brainstem active lesions
