OP - Pain sure, chronic spinal and other pain for 40 + years what would you like to know? When I was 17 I got T boned by another driver going about 70.
I was in bed in the hospital for 5 months, now I'm up to a total of 9 months hospital time. I've had a broken left femur, collar bone, scattered pelvis and 4 broken vertebrae.
Since then many other items like a hip replacement, heart bypass and pacemaker, several infections, gallons of IV antibiotics and blood, etc, etc.
I've done the crawl to get to my morphine pills many times.
Again OP what do you want to know about pain? I can tell you this, it don't matter who or what you are. Regular person or doctor, if you've never experienced it you don't know.
All that being said I'm trying to repay all the blood I've recieved by donating blood and platelets whenever I can but don't know if I van ever give enough.
BTW and FYI, don't assume that if you're on a lot of meds you can't give blood. You most likely can, the Red Cross was a simple form that explains the few drugs you can be on that exclude you from donating. Very few.<<<<<<<<<<<<
Out of everyone that's posted here it sounds to me like Seamus has had the worst but what do I know?
DONATE BLOOD!!!!
