irnsrgn Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Got the MRI report on my back, seems all the discs in the lumbar area of my back have problems, they will probably operate on the L3-L4 and L4-L5 discs in the near future, its kind of touchy surgery, the problem is the stuff, bulges sticking in the spinal canal, and they have to make an opening in the vertebrae and do the work in the nerve canal. The Down side is bumping a nerve can leave you paralized or something doesn't work in your lower trunk. The last neurosurgeon was very good 15 years ago, hope the new ones are as good. Can't do much of anything right now or I might spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well Jr., you said you thought you would need surgery and I was hoping you were mistaken. Take care of yourself, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandpile Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 JR. I hate to hear this. I did not know you had any problem. We will put up some knee mail. I too am having a bout with the neck and looking at surgery if I can get a head nod from the heart doc. Heart doc is more worried about an abdominal anueriysim(sp). Will see him again tomorrow. Good luck and GOD BLESS Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
