HOLD OFF IF YOU CAN.I would check into laser surgery if possiable.I had back surgery done 2 years ago L-3-4-and 5 on my discs 2 cages and 4 rods not much better IMHO. Like I said.
The Surgeon told me this has a 75% success rate. I have to try it. Taking these hard core narcotic pain medicine the last two years is REALLY GETTING OLD!
These meds are really starting to get to me. I have to do something to get better. A 75% success rate is better then what I'm going through now.

NY-
Best of luck and prayers for a smooth recovery. I have a 6mm bulged L4-L5 disc and am doing everything over the counter right now until I need surgery. I am involved in this surgery frequently and talk to the neuro-surgeons and ortho-spine guys frequently about it.
Again, best of luck to you.

Pitiful by comparison: Broke the left foot outside tarsal bone Friday playing racquet ball. How can one break a bone on a flat surface? Have to get it screwed together tomorrow. There goes my perfect record of 65 yrs without having to go see a doctor for anything but physicals. Got to be up and going strong by spring bear season (May-June).

Thoughts and prayers from Iowa.

BTDT. L4L5 Laminectomy in 2005. Unfortunately, the nerves were damaged before surgery, still don't have full strength in the left leg.
I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.

L3L5 Laminectomy in 1989,major arthritis in that area nowdays.In 95 I did a fly in moose/elk trip in Northern BC,and because I didn't want something to happen while I was hunting and have the trip screwed for my partners I went to see the doc before I left.He put me through a bunch of tests and said I was good to pack 30 lbs max up the hills.As I was leaving the doc(an ex military doctor) said "how much does your rifle weigh?"I told him about 8 or 9 lbs all up,and he said "20lb pack and your rifle,no more than that".I've had to keep it at that ever since.
