Well...I have several herniated discs, and one with spinal cord compromise, and I have spondliosis. Had an EMG which showed polyneuropathy. Multitudes of opinions, and multitudes of answers...positive and negative. Some have said (with disdain) that I should NOT have the pain that I do...and some say YES!!! I'm positive that medecine is not as advanced as we might think it is. My pain is very, very severe....usually a 7 or 8...sometimes 9. When you find the right doctor, you will know it!!!
