Fancylady - thanks for your reply. 6 surgeries! Wow! Husband's had 3 plus the medtronics. Yesterday they were going to do a discogram to see if the disks were the problem but they decided against it at the last minute. the Docs didn't want to cause him that much more pain for just a test - afraid it might cause his heart arteries to spasm from the pain. They injected the nerve with ladicaine (spelling???) and said between the last 2 injections and this one they had pinpointed with relative certainty the problem. We go see the surgeon for fusion consultation.

Did it help you a lot? I sure hope so.
