Hi Harrison
I'm sorry for the infection problems that you suffered with, I can't begin to imagine how it was. If you click
here you can read about the MRSA control at the hospital I am staying in.
I appreciate what you say about overlap pain but trust me when I say my back pain is very specific, it is only when there is something new or different that crops up that it has to be questioned about whether it's from my back or the fibro. I also know from the positive discogram that the disc is at least one of the pain generators.
Cathy ~ took a long time to get fibro diagnosis. Firstly I was diagnosed as having benign relapse remitting MS 3 years ago but the Neuro thought I had some CFS &/or Fibro. Finally this year I saw a Rheumatologist, after taking a full life medical history then examining me including the tender point test. I was diagnosed with Fibro after this & scored 100% on the 18 tender points.

Need a revision but not a surgeon in the UK will (or can?) remove a Prodisc!!
Prodisc has ruined my life
