OMG GJ's... I couldn't believe your timing of this post. I had some extensive Xrays today and the Dr told me I have L4-L5 disc herniation where they are literally laying on top of each other, w/nothing but bone on bone.... OUCH! Plus, he said I have a large bone spur on the area where the two discs are rubbing.

He is sending me for an MRI next wk. I am miserable. He also told me that the bone spur is pushing on nerves. I have had tremendous back pain. Don't let anyone tell you they can't cause pain, cuz I am hurting something fierec, but need to see the MRI results b4 seeking a plan of action.

I also have full blown Osteoporosis in my spine, so that probably isn't helping. Hope you can get some relief GJ's... I am just taking Tramadol to take the edge off and am sitting on a heating pad....

So again..... OUCH, YES THEY HURT~~ take care..
