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.

I broke my back six years ago and completely get the frustration of chronic pain. My thoughts are with you, good luck with the procedure!

 

[Sytes]

Wife and I shared our prayers for you, your family, and your Doc.
I've had a discectomy L4-5, I believe. It's helped. Had a steroid shot 6 months ago.

Thinking of you. - rehab slow and easy.

Wisdom for your team of healers, rest and recovery for your body Jabber. Muscles, discs and bone you straiten up!

Laminotomy and desiccated bone saddle L4-L5 thirteen years ago provided instant relief...74th birthday cake last Saturday while elk hunting. Wishing you a similar outcome Jeff.

 

[Hammsolo]

Prayers up!

I just went through a basivertibrel nerve ablation on my L4-L5 yesterday to kill off all the nerve endings to hopefully kill the pain from that lower disc being basically completely degenerated. I hope your procedure goes well and gives you some relief

I know your pain, do the rehab and stay with it. Prayers offered this morning.
