Default Still Here

Hi All

My Ulnar nerve surgery is a success and I now have full use of my hand ,fingers are still numb this should go away with time.
Back Surgery updateClick here to enlarge I was skiing, hiking. walking working out and all some what pain free, now things in the past weeks have been getting worse lots of LBP and stiffness.I think my L5-S1 is gone and my facets are the problem. My Dr, stated it is inflamation and to take Aleve and Glucosamine Chondroitin things should improve Not workingClick here to enlarge.
I am now seeking some Dr. in Minnesota, My inlaws live there and would be easy to recover if I need more surgery.
Will keep U all posted and try to be more active and answer questions,
Thanks

Gil

Gil,

Good news about your hand. Sorry about your S1/L5 problems. Did you have an MRI? Sure would be nice if inflammation is the only problem but.

Thanks for the update, Dale
