THE QUESTION

Short side of the story is I had 6 back surgeries(mostly fusions) before I turned 40. Because two of those fusions failed and I caught osteomyelitis after my revision fusion, I am in dire need of pain management. I live in Florida and it is really difficult finding a practice that is willing to write me scripts without attempting more epidurals. I had one epidural before any surgeries and it did not go well at all, I had to be wheeled out after because of what the epidural caused. Now I have numerous nerve endings that are still healing or may not heal plus loose hardware but not loose enough to have corrective surgery. Not that I would take another surgery anyways. My current surgeon highly advices against epidurals and frankly I don't understand how a doctor thinks it is a good idea stic

TL;DR

Chronic pain can lead to suicidal ideation. The solution requires addressing the root causes through targeted, personalized approaches, rather than relying on generic advice.
