Sorry for the delay in getting back. Thank you all for your replies. My husband has L1-2-3-4-5 problems. bulges on all, narrowing, stenosis, a 'floating' piece of something, and one disc almost fused itself, etc. We went to Shands, and the dr. looked at his MRI and confirmed all reports. He said that back surgery wouldn't help low back pain if the pain did not run down your leg (pinched nerve). We were very surprised to hear this as he is in severe pain when trying to walk, but not when sitting or sleeping. He recommended PT, shots, massage, acupuncture, chiro, etc. Has anyone had a dr. say that surgery would not help with this many discs involved, unles you had a pinched nerve? Anyway, we went to Dr. Bono's seminar the other day, and he looked at MRI and confirmed all problems but said he would need X-rays while bending in different directions to see closer up than just MRI. We have an office appt. with him on the 9th.
Appreciate all comments and help.
