Re: bad back?

I was told to go to FLA or CA where doctors see older people with this all
the time and then I might see some results.
Hehehehehehe hey look at me "guys don't get FMS" (It's a women's syndrome)
LOL

Ha CB!

I talk with a guy on the spondylitis boards that lives in FLA and is
completely fused.
He was rear ended...fractured his spine and neck in numerous places.
Also, because of the fusion he cannot lay flat. The EMTs came and tried
to put him onto a backboard and perform a tracheotomy....cept the guy
can't lay down flat. They broke a couple of ribs trying to perform CPR
(because his ribs are also fused). The poor man was stuck in the
hospital for months healing, and now his docs are insisting that the
pain isn't that bad (did I mention he had numerous surgeries on his
back during this time?). I can't even believe what this poor man went
through. Before he passed out from the pain, after the accident, he was
trying to tell the EMTs "I have ankylosing spondylitis". Too bad they
didn't know what that was-
