I had a lamenectomy done it took care of my numbness in my legs, but still had problems with my right butt cheek can't stand, can't sit very long and walking is very hard, so they fused L4 and L5 still no relief, so they fused S1 still no relief, then a MRI said I had a torn labrum in my right hip so I had a hip replacement still in pain, I'm on meds strong one's barely helping, Now diagnosed with bladder cancer, just had my port put in yesterday, I live on Advil which is not good for my liver and kidneys. If I was you I would get a second opinion, they meaning the Dr's no that %90 of patients will come back for more surgeries , I'll pray for you šŸ™ but please get a second opinion i wish I did, I went to Rush In Chicago supposed to be the best spine help , I disagree and I also did a nerve stimulator that did absolutely nothing for me

@abettera1961 So sorry to hear that you are going through all this! It’s awful.

The doctor said that depending on the EMG results I might need an injection or a referral to a neurosurgeon. I’ll start looking around for means to get another opinion!

Re Rush, I had tickets for Toronto, but sold them because I was in too much pain to go. I hope you did enjoy the show.

Take care.
