Welcome
Hi Suffering Surfer -
I'm a Newbie on this board too but not to back pain. Boy do I hear you on not being able to sit. (Had to dump successful small business and have not worked for a year for the first time in my adult life.) I also hear you on being active, trying to be normal and paying for it.
Do you know what disc Doug DiCences had implanted and who did the surgery in Germany? Be grateful to know.
