Hi Ricky
I dont know if you read this forum anymore but I hope you recovered from your issues -we both had surgery at the same time in early 2012 and it was good to talk and get through it together!.. I guess however this post may be lost in cyber space.
I had my second micro D last October (2013) after the first reherniated and it appears the second has now reherniated 😡
The second op seemed easier after what we went through but the next step is an MRI scan.
Surgery is truely the last resort and I think its led me down the path to regretting ever seeing a surgeon.
Anyone reading this - dont do it
Hey Doog,
A shit Doog sorry mate I'm 10 months late replying to this!
Apologies i got an email the other day about a reply to a post i had on here and it all came back again!! Bizarre re-reading that dark place i had found myself in.
I'm sorry to hear your still struggling. I really am. By the sounds of it your looking at a fusion?! Jesus, i can only imagine how difficult it is to keep the head straight and stay positive since jan 2012
I'm doing ok myself. Still have a devil on my shoulder to make sure i take care and not push my luck too far. Its constant keeping an eye on it and walking, moving and not sitting to much to be honest my life is the same pre any back issue - i still commute, sit for a living etc and nothing i can do about it.
I have issue on the left side which is L4 bulging and the clutch doesn't help!!! Ive also been rear ended twice in the last 4 months so Im back in physio for my neck!
But in the grand scheme of things i don't think i can complain much.
I hope the last 10 months has offered some alternative to you and you have a better situation in hand.
Good to talk to you again Doog. Keep the head up, chest out and fight the f*cker to the last.
6 yrs on and going strong.
🙂
No regrets for having decided to go for surgery..
