Well I'm new to all of this so I guess I should start with an Introduction. I'm 51 years old I had a long military career in Special Operations which has led to my being on this web site. I have had numerous operations on my knees and have cadavers ligaments in both, I'm currently on my 6th surgery on my lower back I have had a fusion at L5 S1 and have had stimulator implanted all of this has left me with chronic pain for which I'm prescribed 100mcg Fentanyl patch and Oxycontin for break through pain.
