Hi, I don't know what to do.

I've had two discetomies (looked up the terminology, think I got it right... They removed herniations from my L4-L5 and L5-S1 discs), and still have herniations now. They're pressing on nerves, so I have pain and weakness. I went to a clinic and had three epidural corticosteroid injections, to no avail.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is, my surgeon said if they do more surgery, they are going to have to fuse stuff. I know you guys aren't doctors (probably), but I wanted some other opinions besides my own worried mind. Also I needed to vent about it.

Thank you so much for reading,

Laura
