re your spine
Hey Gil,
It's been awhile now though I cannot recall if you were recommended to have a fusion or there's that possibility as you mentioned instability so wondered if you had flexion/extension films that showed that?
Not sure what could be bothering you though you have enough spine history that it could be "something." I see you rebulged the same level you had surgery on previously (as did I at both levels of discectomy I had).
Most of the time my back is pretty good with my medication. Some flare ups. Some predictable, some out of the blue. I usually ride them out now vs. the panic it used to send me into 20 or 10 years ago. Still I never think that something "new" couldn't pop up esp. as I age (deteriorate spinally?)!
Hope you're feeling better. Have you tried a Toradol injection 60mg IM for spasms? I can't believe how helpful that is for me/my flare ups. Then there's whatever else works given each of our clinical findings. Good luck!
