Re: My 57 Pro Street

Sorry about your back, Kim.
You've mentioned that before.
Mine L4-L5 was repaired 5 years ago, only thing left from that is that I don't have any feeling in my right shinbone. Back is ok, no more pain from that.

Hope you gonna be alright and be back in no-time!
Be safe and take care!!

Hope they can get you through this without surgery. You have a great build going. Hang in there. Take care.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.
The Doctor I'm seeing comes highly recommended so he should be able to get me fixed up in no time.
Hope to be able to get back to the truck asap.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Tempted to joke with you about "rub a little dirt on it" and keep going, but I know backs are extremely serious business and NOT a true joking matter. Hope the doctors fix you up quickly and as close to painlessly as possible. Best, Dan.

PS: Any chance you will be making it to he Brother's show next month (I think)?

Re: My 57 Pro Street

hey Kim, sorry to hear about your back issues. it is something we all take for granted until we have an issue. hopefully your doc will have a solution without a huge surgery and long recovery.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Saw the surgeon yesterday.
Looks like he has to go in and do a little clean up at a couple of places. Doesn't think it will need to be fused.
Go back in a week as he wanted x-rays of the area to go with the MRI just to be sure.

That's what I'm looking forward to.
Been a couple months since it started giving me trouble again and I don't take pain meds because of the residual effects they have on the ongoing problems from the nerve damage from my first herniated disc.

Re: My 57 Pro Street

Kim,
I was thinking about you.
Did you have the MRI and x-rays already?

Hope you doing alright, as far as it goes.

Thanks.
Got everything for the surgeon.
See him on the 7th to go over what he wants to do.
So far he doesn't think he will have to fuse any more vertebra but will find out for sure then.

Thanks guys.
I think it's going to be a pretty uneventful operation.
The doctor is a Neurosurgeon with years of experience on the spine.
