Degenerative Disc Disease

I feel bad for you that go through that.My wife has had 6 surgeries since 1984 and even has a spinal cord stimulator implanted in her abdomen with wires to her lower back.She says it takes the edge off is about all.Pain meds make her severely sick to her stomach so she only uses them when it gets really bad.Has so much scar tissue in her back now has been told the newer procedures are not an option for her. I don't know how you all tolerate it.
