My name is Denise I Have lived in pain for 29 years just weeks away from my 60th birthday. On 10/09/1988 my life forever changed, I was a single mom with a lot of dreams for my life. I always believed that if you give a 110% to what every you do or who you work for, it will come back to you in a positive way. Well never dreamed I would injure myself, working I blew out my disc L-4 L-5 S-1, and it only took 6 year of battling with a no fault insurer. State of California workers compensation fund. to get the medical care necessary that I was entitled to! well the damage was done and when I was fused with bolts and screws, and bone graph of my hip. so even though I had Won a medical Award. SCIF does not Honor anything! second re-fusion because the first one broke leaving me with half fused the other half not. I suffer with Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, D.D.D., tumor in my thoracic,Neuropathy, and disc bugles from my lumbar to my cervical, and a Cancer Survivor. I WILL NOT STOP FIGHTING FOR US. Lot of love to all of you

Chronic pain throughout the spine caused by osteoarthritis (DDD). Started at neck, spread to thoracic, and lately to lumbar area. Most of my spine is affected by bulges, disc height loss and dehydration, bone spurs, annular tears, foraminal stenosis, probable nerve impingement, and degeneration at end plates and facets.
The disease extends from Cervical C2-3 to C7-T1. Thoracic T4 to T10. Lumbar T12-L1 to L5-S1. It is all non operable.
Other conditions TKR R Knee. Torn ACL, MCL L knee, Pain on legs and calves Deep vein thrombosis Migraine headaches Painful spots all over scalp COPD Hypertension Chronic Hyperventilation. Caused by anxiety or stress Chronic depression and insomnia
My journey with chronic pain began over 30 years ago, while as a young nurse working spinal rehab, I injured my back lifting a patient. I am now fused from L2-S1. I have multiple thoracic and cervical issues. I'm a retired RN/PA and I know and understand the frustrations on both ends of the treatment spectrum of dealing with CP. It's been my goal since 2008, when we started this site, to reach out and help as many people in pain as possible. We will continue the fight as long as we can. Please, if you can help us continue to help you and others, donate. Thank you.
