Recently I asked you about feedback from surgeries with dr. Jho and El-Kadi, and today Dr. Jho made a surgery (herniated disk L3-L4)for my husband. He had waited around 6 hours before he got surgery room. I can not say he feels good now. He still has a pain in his hip and in his lower left leg. May be this symptoms will go away tomorrow, when he is going to be discharged. I'll hope. But when I saw how he was walking in a bathroom - banding his body, making short steps, I wanted to cry... This was his third lumbar surgery. We were looking for minimal invasion ways, tried to escape fusion ... What if tomorrow and after tomorrow his pain will not go away...

Here's hoping he has a full recovery.
THANK YOU! For sticking by him. Surgery is not easy, and I know what a good person you are for remaining with him during this time. joe |

Hi, I wish your DH the best and that his pain will be relieved soon.
It often takes time for the pain to get better, especially if it has effected any of the nerves. I take it your DH had to go ahead and have a fusion, so give it time and have him listen to the Dr's orders.. Please feel free to some back and keep us updated and also you"ll have someplace for support for you both. Linda |

Please keep us posted about your husband's progress. I was advised by a nurse to stay away from Dr. Jho, so I never sought help from him...I certainly wish your husband well though and will keep him in my prayers...Sometimes healing comes with the gift of time....There have been others that were not healed at first...It takes time and sometimes months...
