Well I have been diagnosed with L5 bulge disk with S1 nerve irritation. I have done back injections, nerve blocks, and a lot of praying. The other day my pain came back worse then ever and they have me on 10-325 hydrocodone until we figure out what to do. Well they want to do back surgery. I have heard so many people that know someone but I want to know some more. Maybe from someone that has had the surgery. They want to basically go in and cut a channel in my vertebrae to give the nerves room to move and then clean out what is applying the pressure. The procedure will take 30 minutes but I will be in the hospital overnight and recovery will take weeks (6-8). I have never done anything like this but man the pain is almost unbearable right now even on the pain medicine.
Does anyone know anything about this personally and how did it turn out for you?
