Jan, 1999 I had my first Micro. on L4-L5. I was 28 years old. I had "sciatic" pain for 9 yrs and 2008 herniated next disc down. They did another micro and cleaned nerve bed from previous surgery. I never felt so great. All pain was gone. Then came 2010 and all I did was turn and we head in for fusion of L4-S1. Forced back to work in only after 3 months. Ate over the counter meds for 7 yrs after never really felt good. Was/still having numbing thigh constant back weekness and thoracic pain along with occasional leg sciatic.
Now yesterday I had a cortisone injection. 3 wks ago had MRI L3-L4 disc bulging. 2 months ago was using my snowblower and felt like someone punched me in the back. 2 wks physical therapy and eating hydro pills like crazy. In the end of it's between eating high potent pills forever or surgery. Aint got nothing to lose.
