I'm home now recovering from spinal surgery (lumbar fusion).....and doing great. 4 years ago I had a synovial cyst on my lumbar spine, the pain going down my sciatic nerve to my feet was excruciating. I would have rather died. They did emergency surgery, then 2 years later I had another synovial cyst. At the time of the second cyst removal my neurosurgeon suggested getting a fusion, and that would solve my problem. But I was scared and didn't think I would get another.
This time I had surgery for herniated disc. I'm so glad I had it done. I'm 7 weeks out and can tell I'm going to be so much better and finally able to walk without pain. Don't go to a chiropractor.....see a neurosurgeon.
Best of luck to you!!
