i have been in chronic pain since 1990!!

i had a botched cervical fusion (C-6-C-7) followed by two additional surgeries to correct the instability in my neck

a C-5-C-6 fusion (hip bone) and C-6-C-7 re-do as well as posterior wiring of my spine form C-5 thru C-7

i now have pathology at every cervical level as well as the top 2 thoracic levels

my chronic pain became acute pain about 6 months ago

i have gone through an intense 4 week pain management program and switched my meds

i had never taken an opiate for the past 20 years but now have introduced percoset

i no longer take neurontin or tegretol and heve replaced them with lyrica and ultram

i am still in tremendous pain and think my problem is in the "upper cervical" area...occipate thru C-4 which is not included in a cervical mri

my last mri (october)had pathology at every level but C-2 -C-3 had herniated disc,stenosis.severe facet involvement and on and on

i am a dentist who was forced to give up my profession

anyone out there with a similar story?
