YYYY@YYYY email. Hi i suffer from 7 back surgeries due to an original martial art injury 15 yrs ago. I didnt take pain medication til my back fushion in 2005. Ive since had 5 more surgeries. I suffer chronic pain and i dont want to take pain medication anymore. I dont know how il function without some relief. Im allergic to 99 percent of medication out there. My pain management doc is frustrated, becaue of my chronic pain and allergy list tried for my condition. Any thoughts? Thanku marybeth
