Yes. It was unreal!! The MRI showed that there was bleeding at the sight of my first surgery on the inside so they knew I was in trouble and also some of the the remaining disc from the first surgery, which is gelatinous, had slipped out and was squashing my nerve. Two surgeries 6 days apart but they sure worked!

So you weren’t following directions?! 😮 I always warned by back surgery patients that the ones I usually saw (too soon) again were one’s who didn’t take it easy. Of course I am sure many didn’t remember me at all, which is why written instructions are sent home!

@sunnyflower Any surgery scares me but what you are describing is even scarier! Did it get rid of all the pain or just a percentage?
