How Much Are People In Pain.
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

are you an every day or on and off.. i have had pain off and on most of my life. i think what masked it 90 percent of the time is i slept on a warm water bed for years but none the less i had days where it felt like some one stabbing me in the but, my chest felt like i was kicked in the chest and the couple of times i ended up in the er cause my lower back hurt so bad i could not sit or stand. they said it was a pulled muscle.

I had a discectomy and laminectomy at L5/S1 in 1995, that relieved almost 50% of the numbness I had all below the waist, but, the pain has worsened gradually ever since. I recently got my medical notes and was surprised to learn that all the specialists I have seen have said that the pain won't ever be relieved and will worsen...joy!
They won't touch my neck!

I was also worse after back and neck surgery. I always tell people don't even think about surgery unless NO other choice!

I have intermittent pain but it’s rare if I don’t have any pain. I’ve just come to accept the pain. Being active helps a lot. Right now I’m on an exercise bike at the Y. 40 min has gone by! I like to read and listen to music when I exercise. Best wishes to everyone!

I hope it works out for you, I had a cervical fusion, disctomectomy (sp) 4-6, I am 10 times worse now than I was before, I had been having more and more pain so my pain management doc did a ct scan, and stays on my neck, now 3 and 7 are deteriorating, as well as my neck is out of alignment, I have pain 24/7 now, I pray your surgery goes so much better and helps more than mine did, good luck!
