re: Considered not a surgical candidate Hey Muddy,
Welcome to SPS. I also recognize ans from elsewhere and am glad you found this site. I'm sorry you are having pain management issues too.
My pain is all over the place but I somehow manage to get up every morning and go to work and most days it is pure agony, especially during the morning hours. Looking forward to hearing more of you story.
