[This is from the Chronic Pain Conference on Fidonet]

I would like to announce that we are now receiving this Echo and
that I am a Chronic Pain suffer. I was just advised only yesterday
that the disk between number 5 & 6 in my neck is gone and that I
have calcium build-up on the ligaments in my neck and this could be
causing the sever head pain and neck pain. I have had back, neck
and head pain since 1979 and have been on almost every drug there
is. I was on Talwin & Flexerial for 6 years, uses a *TENS* unit,
had cortizone injections with little to no releif. I was on Feldene
and two weeks ago changed to Voltaren (2 a day) and Propoxy
Naps100mg/apap if needed. Istill have the headace's but at least I
can live with them (this week anyway). Had a CATS SCAN this week
and have to see a nuro surgen this next week. They tell me that I
Could and probbly will loose the use of my neck real soon if they
can't do something *FAST*.

        Well More later....... --==John Wells==--
