Default Hello everyone

I guess my signature tells most of the story, but I want to introduce myself.

I am 39 years old and the past 3 years have been pretty rough with back pain after a fluke injury put my back over the edge. Like most people here I have tried the conservative route and found little to no relief and am looking to have the pain gone and my life back.

I am in Ontario Canada so I know the options here are very limited and time consuming so I am looking at biting the bullet and going out of country even though it means spending my house money.

Currently looking most at Clavel in Barcelona and it seems like Borree would have been a good option too if not for the accident. Baring that I am also looking at Pimenta in Brazil.

Right now I am getting all my documentation in order - just missing an updated MRI since my current one is too old - to get some doctors to take a look at me and see if I am a candidate or not...

The site has already been a huge help and the people are here are definitely inspiring.
