I have had back troubles off and on for a long time, last week I really had a problem with alot of pain in my leg and could not shake it. Went to doctor he ordered an MRI and found out I have a ruptured L6 disc with fragmentation and free floating pieces. I go to see a specialist on the 17th to find out my options but the orthopedic doc i seen already told me surgery is basically my only option. which really sucks because hunting season is just around the corner but I need something done. If anyone has info it would be appreciated as i have heard many horror stories about back sugery .
will keep updated.

imalilhothead	17-Sep-07 9:26:31 there are always horror storie associated with surgery babe....but like most things what might be a horror for some people might be a breeze for you...but i agree with tight..if you arent comfortable..get a second opinion

locksley	17-Sep-07 17:29:36 you're so goin' under the knife dude, BUT, make sure you check surgeons and find one you like. trusting the doc is HUGE to success. And, if it's going to happen, at least it's a good location. you'll be just fine. Maybe dude will share if he finally catches Babmi. grin
