Comment on Spine Surgery
I have been getting pain injections for 15 years.
Sometimes they help; sometimes not. It all depends on WHO gives them.
Have seen two top neurosurgeons in the past year for consultation; both concurred NO SURGERY as I have a curved spine. Also stenosis, a few herniated disks; bulging disks. All causing pain in the back of my left leg, buttock and left ankle.
The last pain injection took the pain away, but how long will it last ....no one knows.
Also, don't even go to a decompression machine. It's a waste of money. Medicare and Ins. Cos. do not cover this cost and you have to pay yourself. It's useless and does not work. Physical therapy never worked for me, but I do walk for 30 minutes each day. Pain pills never worked for me either. You can become addicted so I never do pills. Does anyone out there know about the one inch minimal invasive surgery or the one called MILD ?
Would be interested in having feedback on this.
Both are done as outpatient.
Thanks.
