Has anyone here had back surgery? I have two collapsed disk (thanks to an 18 wheeler at 55mph) and have done the back injections, physical therapy for 7+ months and tomorrow I have an appointment with my Doc who gave me until last Friday to start showing signs of improvement before talking surgery. Well on Friday at therapy I read my review that they are sending the doctor. It said, “his progress has plateaued”. So I’m sure I’m going t hear about surgery. Just wanted to know if any one has had it and how they are know.
(Plus was the discogram really as bad as I have read) |

I had L1, L2 surgery about 18 years ago and it was the best thing I have ever done! It took about 5 years to get complete confidence and strength back but now I waterski and snowski all the time.
The only advice I would give is to find a doctor who does these operations daily. Experience is the only way to get the consistant results. Do not skimp on the doctor even if you have to pay for it out of your pocket Good Luck! Jeff |
