I was rear-ended by a drunk driver in May 2005; he hit me, while I was stationary at a red light, going approximately 55-60 mph. Since then, my life has changed drastically.
After an MRI and a slew of other tests, it was shown that I have five herniated discs, one stacked on top of the other, in my lumbar region. The largest bulge was 9 mm into the spinal cord, whereas the other four were at 5 mm. Needless to say, the pain is intense on a 24 hour basis.
My question is this, to all those who have, or are currently suffering with chronic pain, are you tired of doctors treating you like drug addicts looking for your next fix? I know I am. :)
