The Chronic Pain Solution: Your Personal Path to Pain Relief Review


For over 10 years now I have been a sufferer of chronic, severe, back pain. I've now had 4 surgeries including fusions and now even have a spinal stimulator implanted. I'm 34. I stopped being able to pick up my son at 6 months old. He's now 9 and I can't even sit in a deer stand with him for more than 20 minutes without having to move. I don't sleep, I'm on 5 different medications along with the stimulator. And I've lost count of the doctors and specialists I've had look at me like I had 2 heads and obviously thought I was full of it. There have been many, many occasions where I've chambered a round in my smith & wesson .40 calibur to put a permanant end to my pain. Why? Because I have the next 40 odd years to look forward to increased pain, probably a wheelchair within the next 5 and parades of pills and medical bills. yay me! Officially I've been diagnosed with 'failed back syndrome' which we all know is a catch all meaning 'I don't know what the hell it is'.

However, that said, four things have kept me from pulling the trigger. One is my girl who was also a highschool sweetheart I've known for 18 years and has vowed to fight with me no matter the cost. Two is my doctor in Louisiana. I finally found one that I trust, who believes me and has encouraged me to keep hope and faith and has kept on fighting with me while not accusing me of faking or even second guessing me for a moment. Three is my 9 year old son who now needs his daddy more than ever since his mother and I have divorced (also a biproduct of my pain in part). And last, this book. No it's not a cure. No it doesn't take away the pain or even tell you how to. But it does give you hope and it does show you ways to cope, and live, with chronic pain.

While this book may not be the end all book to have, it's encouraging and it shows you how to put a 'team' together. A man is only as good as the people he surrounds himself with. I've surrounded myself with my girl, my son, and my doctor and with this book in hand, I'll live to fight another day...for now.
