Holy Crap G! Thats ******** I would be tearing them a new ***. Isn't that insurance for you... they are there for you when you don't need them and gone when you do. Well best of luck Gunsmoke! I too live with chronic back pain and a condition that is called Dystonia in my lower lumbar.

I don't know about you but I think back problems are the worst thing in life to suffer from and no one truly knows how bad it is until they have it.



Yea I fought Workman's Compensation Board for 2 and a half years and went through dozens of their doctors/surgeons before they believed I wasn't faking!

All the best to you my friend! Keep fighting the good fight!

Yea its basically the brain telling part of your body muscle to contract and protect whatever part of the body its attacking. Kind of like when you see a punch coming to your stomach and your brain automatically tightens the muscles without you thinking about it much. Well that's what happens with Dystonia except it doesn't un-clench.

I'm hopeful. I'm down on the drugs. Starting tomorrow I'll be at the minimum dose. If everything works out then next week I'll be off the drugs
