MILD = Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression.

MILD is Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression -- an out-patient surgery.
Read about it on the internet but try to locate sites that are not actually
ads for the procedure. It sounds like an easy alternative to more serious
surgery. However, if it doesn't go well, you can end up with worse pain
and less mobility. It's been over 3 weeks, and my husband has trouble
walking, can't drive (the dr. and dall the literature sounds like you can
drive within a couple of days; normal activity in a couple of days, etc.)
Getting an MRI to see if that can help them discover what actually happened
to cause the groin pain which appeared almost immediately after surgery.
