Is there anyone on this site that has had a positive outcome from the surgery? I'm feeling very nervous and confused! I want relief from this pain and lack of sleep, I just want my live back I can't stand or walk more than 5 minutes and even then I pay for it with more intense pain and Norco doesn't help in the least. Please let me know if anyone has had a positive outcome (Please!)

I had two great years after getting over the first surgery. But ask you Dr the chances of retethering and arachnoiditis before you make a decision. AND get a second opinion from a spine center/hospital. Good luck and God bless. Ask the doctor how many her had performed. They are rare and his or her answer may be zero
And as bad as it hurts now, if you get you will miss the pain you use yup have. I didn't think it could get worse. I've stopped saying that. Things can always get worse
