Hi
I really don't know anything about a surgery to cut away part of the discs only. I hope others who do know more chime in. Yes i also had the tingling down to the fingers, but my surgeon, who is a spine only orthopedist , said when it was obviously weak, he operates. I wasn't yet in pain management then, but have been for the last 3 years. When vicodin stopped working i was bumped up to percocet. I am having some issues now with the fact that i have built up a tolerance to it and was taking 20mg for one dose. I recently got myself on 10mg per dose. AFter my most recent surgery , but at my post op my surgeon wanted me to go down to 10mg every 6 hours. For the first week it was 10 every 3 hours. I think i am not progressing to walking as much do to the pain i still have with only the low for me dose. He did refer me to a new pain management doc who i will see in a few weeks judy
