Hello,
I am going to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a nurse (not working), who has developed this chronic pain due to Failed Fusion Syndrome. I originally had problems back in the summer of 2009, because of a herniated disc, after therapy, traction etc. I opted to have a microdisectomy. That was great until I was in my 2nd yr. of nursing school when I picked up...

I was athletic, very lean and continued to stay fit by enjoying bike rides and playing recreational co-ed softball. However, when I started a family at 25, I had...
When contemplating about writing an “about me” section that would talk about my diagnoses and the effect that they have had on my life. Every time I start to type, I am not sure what it is that I want to say. I just know that what I have to say has to have a profound effect on those reading the words and having all the same questions that I have had for some many years and even the...
