@marield65 Hi Marie. I have a friend who has seen a couple of back surgeons, I will ask her what her prognosis and which she is going with. I forget which hospital the original one is at, I think possibly New England Baptist, but the one she was considering more strongly I believe is at Mass General. With her there is a question of whether surgery is the correct course of action so of course she wants to make absolutely sure to choose the right one. The first one was all about surgery.

Content and well, thank you for that information. I just found out today that my neurosurgeon is going to try back shots again (different back problems) and see how long we can put off surgery because the pain I am getting is coming from a pinched nerve from L5 and where I will need surgery is a fusion from L3 to L5, but I am not getting pain in that area, but my discs are rubbing and bulging. I don't know if that makes sense to you but my neurosurgeon is very conservative and I agree with him wanting to wait..Marield65
