You are very knowledgable, so I think I'll pick your brain.

Have you ever heard of the procedure "endoscopic dischectomy"?????

I mean, compared to the other kinds of surgery, this one is a walk in the park, an expensive walk in the park but a walk in the park.

On the website http://www.spineonline.com/

they explain all about it and my husband and I saw a video of the actual operation. It's amazing.

I would appreciate your thoughts on such a procedure.

I think when my husband goes to his next primary care phyician's appointment, he's going to run this by him.

He really wants to get rid of the neuropathy pain once and for all.

P.S. I asked Alan about pain radiating down his leg (I have sciatica, so I know about pain), and since my husband has never once complained about any pain radiating down his leg, when I asked him he just said "oh, I have pain in my lower back down the leg, once in a rare while, (I think it's kind of a dull ache for him), He never has gone around going "oh vey, my back my back", ever in his life.

I know sciatica, I've had two attacks, took an mri and have the L1, L2, L3, thing going on. I exercise every day but when it rains, forget about it because I suffer from degenerative joint disease. No walk in the park, believe me.
