Hi Everyone .. well . I had the MRI and there is a small herniation on the same level L4 L5 .. The Dr is putting me on steriods and more pain meds <vicodine> I have an apointment thursday to look at the mri and make the choice to have the surgery done again .. <its looking like I have to have tis one> I was laying on the bed before the Dr called and my back went into spasms and my legs were flapping around so bad that my slippers flew off .. <good timming for the Dr, she could hear I was in lots of pain and had me try to relax and take deep breaths> anyway after I see how the steroid work and after I see the new mri I will decide what acton to take . has anyone had a microdiscetomy done twice on the same disc in such a short time .. <3 weeks>? if so .. hows the healing and what can I expect? The dr said its best to do this sooner less scar tissue to deal with ..am I glad I found this place .. thanks in avance
