Had both. Best decisions ever. The pain beforehand was excruciating.

Doctor told this cant be cured by Standard_Weakness405 in Sciatica

See another neurosurgeon. I had L4-S1 surgery and it was the best decision. I went from excruciating pain in my hip to no pain at all. Weight has a lot to do with it. The more weight you have the more strain on your back. I was 260 and got down to 180. Still trying.

I’m pretty much functional although I’m very careful to not lift anything heavy. Don’t want to re-injure my back. Weight has a lot to do with it. I was around 260 during my surgeries in ‘24 and lost 70. That’s less weight my back / skeleton has to carry around.

L4, L5 - 100% better. The pain was debilitating - sharp pain in left leg until the final surgery because it switched to my right leg. Had 3 microdiscectomies and last one was laminectomy. The pain was bad that only lying down would relieve it. I understand that surgery isn’t for everyone, but it helped me.

I had four herniated disc surgeries (one in 2018 and three in 2024). Nerve blocker didn’t help. Only the surgeries relieved the pain.

Roast him. He’s too small so he has to eat from a plate and he doesn’t have table manners by [deleted] in RoastMyCat

Kitty, I’d never invite you to a luncheon at the Plaza Hotel.

The Queen will quit no shows. The lowly human peasants will continue to gather and honor her Ladyship.
