indeed-
same situation as this is from a car accident, i have tried everything at least once...

i completely understand the numbness, and sometimes tripping over my own foot, but i can deal with that, my main concern is the pain. after a year and a half of some days not being able to get out of bed, interrupted sleep, and a complete change in lifestyle (20lb weight gain due to physical inactivity) i am ready to move forward but highly concerned about the long term effects of the laminectomy.

i luckly have a teen age daughter who is so understanding and luckily i landed a part time job recently where i can work from home doing lead processing. i think the time may be now...

if you have any other input- or suggestions, i am game...
Thanks so much!
