The only hope is that it don't get much worse too fast. They have told me I have acute injury/damage, which means that its still happin. So it ain't ever goin to get better! Only worse, just don't know how much ,how fast.
Mine was fused in May 08. Pain has only been worse, only relief is drugs. Sadly I don't get "HI" from them only somewhat tired. 80mg. oxycontian every 8 and roxycontian 15mg every 6 for breakthru!!
So you are one of the VERY lucky ones. The only good thing for me is it happened at work.Which I haven't gone to since Aug.07
Oh the other lucky thing is that is really how I got here!!
