Couldn't !!! A month ago I was getting out of the recliner and hit the floor. Freaking leg cramp out the ass !!! While the extreme floor dropping pain subsided after about 15 minutes, it still hurt like hell. So... several Dr. visits later, I have to have lower back surgery. Couple small rods and removal of part of L5. So from L3 thru S1, I will be braced up. Everything is pressing on spinal cord and sciatic nerve. After a month of non stop pain I finally got an injection (prednazone) and that has helped tremendously. That injection (which I can have more) hopefully will last me a few months until surgery. Ive already had three cervical fusions in prior years, so Im gonna be bolted up from top to bottom !!! Almost. Anyhoot, I will hopefully get some play time between now the then !!! While the extreme leg pain is better, my ASS BONE still drives me nuts. So I cant sit for long. Sucks, but Ive been through this shit before with my neck. Hope to frag someone soon !!!

On the last day I got out of my bunk and my right arm was forced behind my head. I could not lower it. Unloaded my gear with one hand and drove a stick shift a hundred miles home with one hand. So off to the doctor I go. He walks into the room and looks at me and says "what's wrong with your neck"? Is this guy an idiot? " Nothing wrong with my neck, its my damn arm. I can't lower it" Good God can't you see that? Ah no that's your neck. You herniated a disc in your neck and severely too. So surgery and fusing with cadaver bone and a few month off, all is ok now. Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you'll get. good luck mike. Awards

They used a cadaver bone during the second and took a piece of my hip for the other. Since you have a cadaver bone too, do you have visions of another life !!! Like I do !!! Awards

My backs has been fubar too for a few years. I just have been putting it off, like you. I learned from my neck fusions. Once you get one, then the ones above and below take the brunt of everyday wear and tear. And before you know it, your getting another fusion. So... try all other avenues first !!!
