Mark, 
 
You didn't mention what all your consultations revealed.  What do your conglomerate of doctors suggest? 
 
You know I personally feel that a discectomy is the beginning of a downward spiral but then again, those who have achieved long term success have no need to post of these forums so they may out there, going about their business without a back care in the world. 
 
Anyway, how is Diane doing?  I do hope a few days rest have lessoned at least some of her pain.  I'm finding a couple of hours in my zero gravity chair can undo a difficult day.  I hope she's using yours. 
 
My best to both of you, Dale
