Spinal Stenosis

[jabber]

I hurt my back about 2 1/2 years ago lifting about 20 pounds and turning with it. Been doing pain management, injections, pills & PT, for the pain I am having in my back and my legs since then. They have had moderate success. But the pain has been getting worse and the procedures not lasting very long so I decided it was time for the next step because I did not want to continue living like this. Tomorrow I will be going under the knife to have a Laminectomy which is where they go in and remove a portion of your spine to relieve the pressure from the discs. I am not going to lie, I am little nervous of the thought of a portion of my spine will be removed but do look forward to not living with the ongoing pain in my back and legs. If you have it in you, give me a thought or prayer, or better yet give it to the dr.
