I have l4 l5 degenerative disk disease and my l5 s1 herniated disc so i had microsurgical discectomy on April 26th 2011 and when I came home i was leaking the nero told me to put compress on it well after six weeks it turned in to a bulge and I had to be re opened because i was leaking fluid and i had bone fragment after that surgery i had pain on my left side and numbing down my legs and feet and he told me back surgery failed so i went for a second option ece test on my nerves which my s1 left 1.0 and dematomal conduction delay was replicated and he wanted to go back in were they wee before to take the compress off the nerve I went for one more option and they said my l4 has fliud and not enough spring so they want to do a fusion on my l4 and if the pain does not go away they want to insert an SCS box I am looking for advice i can not stand a long time so i use a wheel chair i'm in constant pain and have no feeling on my left side do you think a fusion surgery might help and them to take the compress off the nerve has anybody else gone through this very worried i will never be able to walk again they also said i'm obes so i could not have the artificial disc put in I am 5'4 200lbs
