What is your diagnosis with the lumbar area and how much pain and what are you not able to do?
Well i have to run right now, but let us know some more about yourself

Thank you Judy
Right now I'm just angry at the pain.
I saw my surgeon the first week of may, and we agreed to meet again in august, unless my symptoms worsen.
Right now i cant sit, stand or walk for more than ten to fifteen minutes without pain or tingling, pins needles, burning etc etc.
Tuesday I'm going to call a neurosurgeon for a second opinion, its looking like surgery is in my future.
Xlif from L3- L5
Im anxious to say the least.
Im 55.
