I’ve been in back pain for so long that I just can’t imagine it being fixed.
Here and I have to have surgery is actually frightening.
I woke up in the middle of the night and my arm was numb.
Most of the doctors said that I need to learn how to live with chronic pain for the rest of my life.
After I had the surgery, it was such a traumatic experience for me. I didn’t think that there was anything that anybody else could do.
