Five years for me. Mark is my lifeline. I'm delighted to have met him personally. Don't know where I'd be without him and GPS and iSpine.

And I am looking forward to meeting Mark in person, sometime in the coming months.

iSpine and the support here, has given me the knowledge that lets me have confidence that I can make the best decision for my well being. Thanks Mark, for starting this forum. And for you and everyone here for sharing the knowledge you have acquired with all of us.

HI Justin ( I mean Dr. J now)

I was able to break away from stuff from work and finally surf this site for a change.

It is good to see you posting - yet - I hate seeing that you are having symptoms again.

I certainly hope that they can find where the pain is coming from and treat it accordingly.

Yes - Mark has been instrumental in helping so many people on here. I have my life now because of him. - (and of course Dr. B)

Please keep us posted on what they find.

Sincerely,
Sue
