Well, here I go again…it seems I have another bulging disk. About six months after the last surgery, I started to have a little sciatic pain down my legs. Each time I would over exert myself, it would start to shoot down my leg. UGH! So I finally had another MRI and they found a small bulge (not nearly as bad as before) and on Monday I’m going to have surgery. The surgery is fairly simple, they will cut away part of the disk that is pressing on the nerve, I just hope this will last me longer. I am tired of being in pain, especially right now when it’s at its worst. I can barely walk so I’ve been watching a lot of movies.
I really need to have an artificial disk replacement, but I am trying to hold that off for as long as I can. My body is not cooperating very well! I’m trying to look on the bright side….HEY at least I get to wear a sexy back brace for a month! Dear Disk, please be good and stay where you’re supposed to stay!
Wish me luck!
Oh DaNelle!! I am so sorry! Backs are so hard to live with when they are not working properly. Im so sorry you keep having to go through all that. Nielson is having an artificial disc and a fuzing done on two of his discs after Christmas. He is all the way down again and after two surgeries he has no more disc. So here we go…..Weeeee………… lol So glad you are doing better though!! Hooray!
How are you doing? Do you need anything? Can I bring you lunch sometime next week?
Wow, DaNelle! Hope the surgery went well and you recover quickly!
Good luck tomorrow DaNelle, I hope all goes well and we especially hope it lasts forever!
