I am in serious pain now from my back. I don't know if you know but I had 3 spinal surgeries last summer b/c i got osteomyelitis in my spinal column. A screw has popped through a vertebrea and has rubbed the one above it to a point that part of that bone is gone as well. I am getting another surgery to get more rods but I have to wait for the doctor to view the ct scan that i sent to set up the surgery. Anyhow I am in extreme pain that medicine is not helping. I personally manage pain pretty well by keeping myself busy. It's hard to fight through but I also have to live. I have a hard time meditating as well because of so many personal problems so I understand that is why I just keep myself busy to keep my mind off of it. Stacy

I have so much noise going on in my head, it has never been quiet enough to meditate. Constant ocean roar in both ears.
