Gloria,
Another good post. Just wanted to add that my husband MIGHT be facing a Laminectomy (lumbar L4/L5). Any advice you could give me would be appreciated. Not as in surgeons; we do have some great ones. I am just wondering if you could provide any advice. It is not certain yet that he will need this but it seems to me he is heading that way.

Oh, and it just the one level that is bad; herniated and FRAGMENTED disc. You ought to see this thing on his MRI...it is one ugly beast! In a sense, I hope they say fusion instead...but I don't know yet. He is scheduled for one more injection. If that doesn't work, time to consider surgery.
