Hi, I am new to the group, for 2 years I have been dealing with inadequet drs that made me feel like my deg disc and bulge or even the arthritis should cause me the debilitating pain I have. They were right, but they werent doing the right test. I found another dr who sent me to have a myleogram, and they found that between my l3 and s1 there is an inpingment of my nerve roots with quite a bit of swelling. FINALLY... So from what I am gathering is that surgery will be next? I am researching and I understand it for the most part. Any input would be great. the pain is constant, and it shoots down my legs and makes 2 of my toes numb. when I drive the pain shoots me thru the roof. its sharp, and achy and even sometimes feels like someone is squeezing my lower part of my ribs.

thanks so much
