Thanks Joe! I will look into it. I've been thinking about Mayo for awhile now, but need to hold off as my husband has been struggling with a anterior herniated L5 Disc and has appt. at Mayo in Rochester, MN in Nov. Just thinking maybe I should get a knee appt. at the same time.
Thanks for all you info. Much appreciated.

Oh no! Sorry about your husband. I completely blew the disc out at my L5/S1 vertebra. The surgeon did a laminotomy (in 2012) and removed the disc fragments and shaved down arthritis spurs with no fusion. My back has been fine. I hope it's just a bulging disc with your husband that can be treated with cortisone and eventually shrink.

And good luck to you. Please let us know. All the best, Joe
