    I remember your post. It's a shame you still hurt and by so much. It's sounds like you are really suffering. I'm glad to hear you're going back to the hospital. I hope they keep you to run some tests. Namely you need an MRI. Surgery can be so dangerous especially when dealing with back issues. I hope you get to the bottom of this and even more importantly I hope whatever it is it can be fixed easily
