with the pain.Apparently at the time,the chances of the op going tits up,were quite high,and i could have ended up in a wheelchair anyway.
I chose to live with the pain,even though at times i can't walk without being in agony.
If i thought that an operation could put me right,then i think i would take that option today,especially at times like this,when it's been going on for
a month now,and even sleeping is difficult,although after taking a chiropracters advice,i've found putting two pillows between my knees in bed,
it has taken the pressure off my spine,and these last couple of days,i've managed to sleep reasonably.
I purchased an adjustable bed and it has been great. Live with the pain as long as you can or they will give you pain meds for your back. Back surgeries and treatments are getting better all the time. Talk to people that have had back surgeies and get as much information as you can. Just my 2 cents
