I have 9 herniated discs, fibro, you name it...i have it...

I'm sure you'll do fine with your surgery. It's not uncommon to be a little antsy when faced with an invasive procedure. Personally I'm looking forward to it! If I can reduce my rx's in any way, I'm all for it!!


Keep us posted!!
A Big WELCOME to you too!

I'm a Nana too! Oh what joy my grandson brings me!
It's great to have you here with us! Let us know how your Monday appt goes - I was just like you. I drug my feet with pursuing this when first presented with it. It sounded just plain CREEPY to me!
But like you said, after trying everything possible, we circle back around to this option and put our hope in it.
I'm so glad I went thru with it. I'm by no means completely pain free, but at least I am not writhing around in bed at nights wishing I could take an AXE to both my legs!

I've been able to get much of my life back and I hope your experience proves to be just as successful.

Glad you found us!

Rae
