Yeah. I chose surgery over anything else. I was 73. Now at 75, I just don’t know. Somehow they managed to screw up my back. Have been critical ever since. Been to Mayo and MD Anderson and a few other places with NO answers to how it happened. Best guess was that I was not supported well during the robotic surgery.
I can’t walk but a short distance any more ( the day before I walked 10 miles. Which was my
Normal distance). I have a spinal stimulator now which is marginally helpful. I guess my life is basically over

That is just terrible. Don't give up though. Have you tried physical therapy?

oops

Stan so sorry to hear about your problem. So strange that you can't walk now but before you could do 10 miles a day.
I would hope that you keep trying to hang in there and do not think your life is over, there just might be a new answer to your problem just around the corner.
