Reherination Microdiscetomy
Hi All
I just came home from my surgeon and the MRI results were not good
L2-L3 Bulge,L3-L4 Bulge, L4-L5 re herinated, L5-S1 no change but not much disc left, She wants to do injections at L4-L5 to try to dissolve the disc that is pushing on my nerve,"three should do it"
. Also suggested to do a repeat microdisctomy which may or may not work?
Also suggested to send my information to Denver for a second opinion, that does ADR!
I have four very bad levels and she thinks only one level is the pain generator,I think that there is more going on.
I am now taking the bull by the horn and sending all my information every where, any suggestions would be greatly welcome.
Mark you were correct!
Thanks
Gil
