Well, I need surgery
8 years ago
All input is appreciated! So yea... on 1/22 I went to the Arkansas Surgical Hospital to have a diagnostic procedure on my back. They injected contrast dye and did a CT Myelogram to find out what's been causing me so much pain. It turns out that my L5S1 is ruptured, and the resulting protrusion is pressuring one of my nerves, which has been referred to as a "Compromised Nerve Root at the lowest level". I've had injections before (odd how they'll do that without knowing precisely what is going on, huh? That was a different doctor, anyway) but they didn't work. For this there are only 2 options: Injections and Surgery. Well with all that said, I'll be having surgery sometime soon. I'll be on recovering for 2 months. Can't lift over 15lbs, no sweeping motions... This would all be going on during my birthday too. Going on a cruise in March so I'm definitely not wanting to do it before then but ASAP afterwards... My birthday is in April so I'd probably have it done in March. Those of you that pray, please do so. It's gonna be hard x.x
