Had 7th treatment last Tuesday, all went good. Feeling fine so far. Now tomorrow I go to see a neurologist about my back, it was confirmed I do have a compression fracture in my L4, also several herniated disc’s and 1 bulged disc, and a benign tuner between 2 vertebrae, not really in much pain, just hard to get up from sitting and I can’t sleep on my back. Hopefully this doctor can help without any surgeries in the future which I doubt I’ll ever do, other then this, I feel fine

going in for surgery, any surgery can be scary for sure.

the doctor may recommend therapy. but when i had gone thru my therapy the first time (back in 1999), that killed me more than the actual back pains and surgery to follow. the pains were getting worse, cuz i too had a bulged disc at the L-3/L-4. (my first back surgery), was in spring of 2000, and i told that surgeon, "let's get this shite done"

the second time (starting when i got hurt on the job, in 2014, and going thru to 2017), i just told (a different doctor) "let's get this shite done"...as i could not stand the pain, any longer or being on pain killers, which sooner or later, they stop working...then you get on stronger, then stronger and stronger still pain killers....

sooner or later, numbness in one or both legs will come, if it hasn't already, then comes the inability to sit, walk, forget about running, and constant shifting of your body to get comfortable, which actually, throw that word comfortable out the window.

you do you, it's your body, you'll be supported by all of us, but the thought of me being in a wheelchair, and constant pain, was just not in my future......

best of luck, i wish you the best.

I can’t take any pain killers but Tylenol since I just have the one kidney now, and Tylenol doesn’t do anything, I’ll just have to see what the doctor says, I highly doubt I’ll do any surgery, I been through enough right now.

after i posted, i then remembered the 1 kidney....pain killers could do more harm, and yes, Tylenol is like baby aspirin....useless....you wouldn't be able to have a morphine drip as well after any back surgery, but i found the pain after back surgery was from where the skin/incision was done, deep inside i felt no pain at all.

i know what you have been thru and still going thru, and of course, i respect that.

my alternative was a wheel chair, and no way, no how was i going to be having my wife take care of me....or have a caretaker come over, or have my kids inconvenienced as well.

i have always been a "lets get this shite done" kind of guy...

i'll probably tell the undertaker to "lets get this shite done", when i am laying on the embalming table.

just my general attitude on so many things, when there is a choice......procrastination isn't a part of me.......

unless i am deciding on a 2 tone 1911 with pearl or wooden grips.
