Neuropathy with back pain exercise

@brennankb55 The location of your diagnosis, L4/5, S1 is exactly the same as me. The ablation failed and I just had a epidural 4 days ago which has been of little help. The frustrating thing about all if this is, researching dozens of comments from both patients and surgeons, I've found that pain is never completely eradicated. Mobility is increased, but there is still pain in 10 to 20% of patients, which I suppose is a bonus. Not to mention the recovery time. (Laminectomy)
I'm holding out hope that maybe I'll find a surgeon that will do one of the minimally invasive procedures out there. They're outpatient and you walk out afterward!

That’s the #same# surgery 2 years ago. Pain is zero, but my balance problem is on my right foot. Causing falling down.
Thx,

@steveinmontana ~ I hear ya, Steve. People I know who have had numerous procedures all say the same thing - they still have pain, even if their mobility is improved. So it becomes a matter of pain management. I get the results of my MRI later today when I see my spine doctor. Sure hope you find the kind of surgeon you're looking for. Minimally invasive sounds good!
