Hi @polygons, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice that I moved your message to this discussion called "Chronic Back Pain for Years" in the Spine Health group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/) I did this so that you can connect with other members like @jmweissler @artscaping @wsh66 and others who also deal with chronic back pain and issues with discs.
Leland, I can understand looking for an alternative for a blown disc and hope you hear from your surgeon soon. You mention that your leg fills and won't empty. Is this a symptom you've had for a while? Do you have edema?
