Wait until you have back problems and then you will know it has to do with EVERYTHING.
Ok Gary. I was a truck driver most of my life. Had my first back op, herniated disc, due a bad lift.
Aug/17th/2012.
Hit a drunk driver on the highway that pulled a UTurn in front on me.
Meralgia Parasthetica. Permanent nerve damage in my right leg. I have no feeling in my thigh. Standing for more than 10 or 15 minutes brings on a burning sensation. Kind of like a propane soldering torch being held against my leg. Kind of dicks with the enjoyment that I once had when playing pool.
This Tues, I am scheduled for a 4 hr back op. One of my upper vertabrae has been pushed forward and is barely being supported by the one underneath.
2 rods and 2 fusions. They were going to put in 2 prosthetic discs for the 2 that were blown out, but decided that they weren't proven yet so going with fusions.
Vertabrae will forever be riding, bone on bone.
Mobility will be much less than I have now, even messed up and less than what I had previously.
I work at a Hospital and will probably never be able to do my job again.
Insurance just informed me today, 3 working days before my scheduled op, that they will no longer be paying my wages and I should get disability from work. Yeah right.
Like that will happen.
So, you were asking me what I know about back pain etc.
I haven't been whining about it on the forums like Eric used to with his. Now you know my story.
At least with his ill gotten gains, he can afford to have the best surgeons in Germany work on him.
And yes, I don't give a crap about Eric. He is a scam artist. I remember a post many moons ago. Someone asked him about the scam he had going with senior citizens.
He replied with a laugh and said that was just seed money. I should have copied that one. I so wish that I had have.
He has ripped off seniors, military and people from all walks of life, just trying to get a leg up.
There is so much to read on the web re Eric Peterson.
I liked the one members post. He took his family to Vegas. Contacted Eric, and was invited out for supper. When the bill came, he was the one that ended up paying, even for Eric's I believe.
Yeah, coming from a multi millionaire that likes to rub peoples noses in how much money he has.
But hey Bud, if you want Eric to be your hero, don't let me stop you.
BTW, just Google Eric Peterson vs the state of Nevada. Should keep you busy for a wee bit.
Sorry, I have zero use for the guy. Apparently, others are more easily impressed with money.
