My Journey through Chronic Pain

One reach, twist and sharp pain and my world changed forever. Fast forward five years of physios, chiros, doctors, neurosurgeons, specialists, pain management programs, exercises, injections, acupuncture, bed rest and mammoth amounts of painkillers and here I am with no change. That seemingly innocuous L5/S1 disc bulge I sustained that day in December 2004 has turned into chronic back pain with complex regional pain syndrome. Fancy words that in reality mean a life of constant, unending pain.
