Im a c7 quad 15 yrs post injury. The first six years I had minimal pain then was diagnosed with a syrinx in 04. The pain has increased since then and with any pain meds it takes more and more over the years to control the pain. Then my appendix burst and after that a hernia. Sometimes I cant hardly stand the pain and cant see the point to my life One individual cant judge another when it comes to pain, its a personal thing. Just like a person thats never used a wheelchair has no idea what its like and makes judgements the same can be said for a person thats never had true, life altering.......everyday you wake up ........pain. Just thank god you dont have to deal with it brother. Ron Pracht

I am C6 +20 years and luckily have not experienced any pain and stopped muscle relaxers in the 90's. What is causing your pain? Todd D
