Hey Ann,
Welcome to the forum. I was once relegated to the "live with the pain" group as well without even the benefit of pain meds back in '92 after a second spine surgery that failed miserably. However in the last 9 years I've been offered 3 different surgical options (first 3 level global fusion, then 2 level ADR, then ADR and fusion/hybrid surgery) so there is progress in the making here (US) with time and more trials/FDA approval.

If you feel like it please share more detail and perhaps someone here can point you in a direction you might be able to take re doctors/medical centers.
