Hi
What you are going through is nuts. I hate hearing about the loop of Drs. you are in. Having been there and done that I would certainly get another opinion. Surgeons do surgery. Pain guys give...

Runner,
Sorry to hear the injections didn't work. Mine didn't either. Does it look like you'll have to have another surgery?
As for failed back surgery syndrome, it was explained to me that the...

Paul,
Your problem does sound similar. I don't know how big my bulge is on the MRI, but I am sure it is fairly small. When do they start measuring bulges??

Sounds like a tough road to go down. I just came from dinner so the Lamb Chop has no appeal at the moment. I had no luck with ESI's and agree that you must have the sedation to make it...
