i am so sad 2 hear yet just another person having this debilitating problem, disease
lee u are so right
ask all the questions u want
all questions
do all the homework you can on your findings
i am so sad and surprised 2 find out just how many suffer with similar breakdown and changes in our spine just blows me away
i am still waiting for med 2 kick in, just 2 have depend on any meds drives me nuts
my sister just had what is called a mild procedure microscopic and feels okay, however,
she now has been told L/5-S/1 disc are crushed
her and i are neck and neck with our troubles we believe genetics has ruled
and although i had 2 surgeries for structural reasons, it has started a domino effect i cannot stop
2 quote my neurosurgeon after the fact and as per my last emg "u have a multitude of problems" i was mortified and cried for days
i would take the pain i had before any surgeries in a heartbeat (i had no choice)
i do no want 2 scare u in ANYWAY
i was told if i did not have the surgery i would be in a wheel chair, i wanted 2 wait a little bit longer
i cannot express how important it is for you 2 have a good support group
and as many dr. opinions and test before this very important decisions that will be made
i can wish u love strength and hope
may your angels comfort you at your time of need
the advice and support i get here is priceless
i pray your journey 2 a positive outcome

p.s. wish you much luck finding someone you trust and listens 2 you and looks at you in your eyes when addressing you
