Expertise
I am not a doctor but I have spent the last 7 years in chronic pain from numerous lumbar back surgeries and L4/L5 fusion surgery. I can answer questions about most treatments, traditional and alternative therapies. I can answer questions about the many pain medicines used to treat chronic pain. I can also answer questions and give practical advice on all aspects of living with chronic pain. I am NOT a doctor and I have not had any formal medical training so I CANNOT GIVE YOU A DIAGNOSIS!
Experience
I have spent the last 7 years in chronic pain due to a lower back injury. I have had just about every treatment, therapy and alternative treatment, including massage therapy, acupuncture and rekki. I have been to more pain specialists than I can remember and I have been put on almost every pain medicine available.
Organizations
I have been involved with the American pain foundation for about 3 years. I am also an active participant on several chronic pain message boards. I am a member of several local chronic pain support groups. I also volunteer at a local organization that helps people that are disabled and in chronic pain find the information, resources and support needed to cope with living with disability and chronic pain.
Education/Credentials
I have not had any formal medical education but I have done extensive research on available treatments and therapies. I have also done extensive research on the different pain medicines used in the treatment of pain.
