Doctor yesterday


Recommended Posts

I went to Dallas yesterday for my Discography, CT scan and then to my Doc. I was in doctors offices-hospitals from 11:08 till about 440. Good news they finally see it all more clearly. Bad news I'm looking at a Lumbar spinal fusion L5 down, and artificial disc replacement in L4. This is what he is recommending. I meet with another surgeon on the 14 of Jan and will see what she confirms and recommends. Its been going on for over 2 years from a red light runner that T boned me. If you look under back pain procedures and treatments I have had everything and some of them twice. I just want off the roller coaster. Life is not going to get better for me as is. I'm almost 48 and in great health otherwise. I feel now days that they are better at it with all the new technology. One day at a time :605_thumbs_up:

hope it works for ya. I have a son whoes back is junk(so he says) and has let pills solve his pain. The pills ruined everything else though. I don't think there is much room to get any lower for him. The tough part is there is nothing that is available for someone like that.

I feel your pain Tim & hope you get better... I have a herniated L5-S1 that hinders my life daily (nowhere near as bad as yours) so I kinda know what it feels like... The docs do not want to operate on me, so pretty much I just have to deal with it... It sucks b/c it hinders everything that you do...

Get better!

David
