By June 2017, I saw a neurosurgeon who told me physiotherapy was not working because my back issues had progressed past that and would need to do a surgery (Discectomy). I had high hopes that my first surgery would put an end to all my pain and worries. However, I was wrong. In fact, I was very wrong.

In Decemeber 2017, I was flown to India for what would be my 4th and final spine surgery where I was diagonized with spondylodiscitics (this was what it had become) and needed implants after 5 months of been bedridden with agonizing pain.

I remember making the conscious decision plus a LOT of prayers that it would be my final surgery and I would heal perfectly. My doctors believed because of the amount of surgeries I had done, I would never fully recover…

With the Grace of God, I was able to get back on my feet but quite a bit of damage had been done already. These days I manage the pain with physiotheraphy and tons of mental exercises (I try to avoid drugs because I took a lot of strong drugs for a whole year already). 

I think if I had someone who had gone through this process and advised me on the best options to take and how to avoid having a single surgery, I would have done things differently.

I started PainBin because I wanted to build a community and a forum for support. A place online where people can personally relate to the articles and feel completely at home. My goal is help everyone experiencing pain understand how to deal with it with non-invasive methods. 

I understand that surgery is usually the first option that occurs to people but after a surgery, there is no going back...

So I want to ensure that surgery is the very last option.

While I have not gotten around to posting and sharing all my experience as it was A LOT, best believe I would definitely get around to that in time
