    Re: Chronic Injury/Pain Sufferers Unite!

    I have had surgery on both my knees, and now the VA says they are developing arthritis. I also have Meniere's disease. So I get massive bout of vertigo along with migraines bad enough that they have sent me to the ER. I was having 4-5 bouts a week. So they removed part of my skull behind my left ear to reduce pressure build up on the nerve. Followed by 3 rounds of injections directly through the ear drum of a toxin to try and kill the nerve. Neither worked, but it did manage to kill the hearing in that ear. I still get the migraines as well as the left side of my face has nerve pain from the surgery. The only thing that has helped so far is every 3 months I go to the VA and they inject a form of botox into the nerves in my face, head, and neck. It paralyzed the receptors so I can't feel the pain. 41 shots in total.
