Here in the great state of NJ we are finally getting with the times and will have MM here in Jan. Well my question to those in the know if you think I would qualify. I've had 10 surgeries total from the spine, neck , arm, hands, compressed discs, degenerative discs and I just got out of ICU for major ulcers where I lost several pints of blood and almost had to get a liver transplant from the Celebrex, Lyrica and pain medicine that I've been taking since 05. All my surgeries were from damaged nerves and I'm hating the pain medicine and am dreading the withdrawal from the opiates. I've been going to this Dr. for over 20 yrs so he knows my history well is very open minded. MM alleviates the pain far better then the pain killers from what I've read from other states I would be an ideal patient to receive MM so just curious what other's in my shoes think. I'm not talking about minor injuries I'm talking 10 surgeries and the next step they were considering was putting an electric box in my spine to stop the nerves but I'm VERY VERY scared of that.:(
