Really sorry to hear about your troubles. My mother at the age of 77 just had a replacement disk put into her lower spine. She hasn't seen much pain relief because of the nerves that were damaged. They also have a type of foam that they can put between the vertebraes that makes a cushion. I know you are wise enough to have a second and even a third opinion if need be before you would allow anyone to mess with your spine. A friend's husband has his spine fused and boy has he ever regretted that. Be good to yourself and take care of yourself. Enjoy your postings and look forward to reading more. Don't push yourself.
