Hey Petkier

Is that a PLIF? (I thought the L was for lumbar! but now that you mention it, Lateral sounds right, duh!) http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/dizzy.gif

Anyway, if it is, I just had a PLIF done 3/5/03 on L5/S1 so we could have alot in common. I would like to know how you are feeling exactly and what if any pt, exercises, etc. you are doing.

Will be looking forward to hearing from you.
