Hi, I agree about the surgeries too and have said this many times before. I could walk and do everything before I had my first surgery. I could have lived without all of the nightmares I have because of the alcohol nerve block injections and the phenol injections which didn't do a thing for me then or ever. I could have lived without any of the surgeries too. Botox is not worth the pain and the temporary "results." We need empathetic people in our lives, who can help us retrain our brain patterns. There are a lot of alternatives out there to surgery. The SDR results have long-term nightmares, and short-term raves in way too many cases. I am not a fan of Baclofen either for many reasons. Dina
