avagadro ,
Thanks for the wish for the back to get better, but I had a mirical in 1999 when I had disc surgery and wanted to walk right after I got out of recovery/anistesia. I didn't even want paid meds when I woke up. First time in a year it didn't feel like my leg was being ripped off, and a knife was stuck in my ham string. That year I got out for deer, and on New Years day and killed about a 175# deer and drug it out alone over 1/2 mi. Then in 2001 I fell going out the front door on ice/mud, and the spine compressed where the disc material was removed. Now little can be done. But, any of you that are looking at disc surgery feel free to contact me. I was hesitant, but getting my tonsills out at 12 was worse- and now there's a non-surgical repair for herneaited disc. If you have a disc problem, and want the view of one that's had the surgery I'm serious- drop me an email because I know it's a spooky thing to consider having done.
