I saw my spine surgeon yesterday. He told me there is no way he can do anything for me until my whole back has healed. Then and only then, he said he will take a standing picture of my spine to measure all the alignment. He did some measurements and found i do have some lumbar lordosis , but it is lower than he would like it to be. So i will just have to deal with all these symptoms and pain with pain pills as always. In January if my hip or probably any one other area is still bothering me he will do injections .
I may never get off pain pills !!
