They tell me surgery wont work..I hurt my back at work about 3 yrs ago--herniated one disc and bulged the other,which,when inflamed,pushes against my S1 nerve...does funky things to my back and legs...plus i have degenerative disc disease soooooo...

anyway gonna go finish my V-8 then go wash myself i reckon...should smell good for the strange man who will be pushing and possibly sticking needles in my back

hope everyone has a great day

and to you baby love you

Hey scoote,

I am in upstate NY...and one would think given we are up north that we would less humidity... nothing could be further from the truth.. when it gets hot here.. it gets hot.. I slept with the a/c on last night which I rarely do because I am going to get "sticker shock" on the next electric bill. However, I refused to wake up in the middle of night with My skin feeling like it is on fire.. and My body temp runs warmer anyhow. It is easier for Me to warm up than cool down.

I had surgery in 07 on My L5 disc it was an L5-S1 discotomy. So essentially the same thing you have right now. The L5 disc herniated and was sitting right on top of the S1 nerve. I waited 4 years to have the surgery done because rarely is back surgery successful. I have to tell you though My back hurts alot less today than pre-surgery. However, it has not take all of the pain away. I think that is a given though. They never guarantee back surgery will be successful like they do other surgeries. It is always hit or miss. I have disc degeneration as well. I found that out last year. They did not find it initially when I had the surgery. But, for Me today it is definitely more manageable and not debilitating at all.

I hope you got some decent news today from your doc's appointment.
