Yeah, me too. Right now, I have a bunch of scar tissue wrapped around the L4-5 nerve root and there's nothing they can do about it. They tried the Racz procedure years ago, but it didn't work. And you can't do surgery cause that just causes more scar tissue. So -- you live with pain. NUTS.

Take care! Hugs, Lee
