snowshoe Platinum_AS_Kicker Registered: 09/10/01 Posts: 1661 Loc: Lost	Currently fighting this...trying to avoid surgery by stretches, shots, etc. Think they do this these days with minimally invasive surgery but it's still surgery therefore trying to avoid if possible. _________________________ This bunny Kicks AS !

Mine certainly was not minimally invasive but I know it depends on exactly needs to be done.

snowshoe Platinum_AS_Kicker Registered: 09/10/01 Posts: 1661 Loc: Lost	It sounds like you had "the works/full service." Yes it depends on what they're doing but I understand a lot more back surgery is done MIS these days. What I had done decades ago involved a long incision + 10 day hospital stay now can be done MIS & go home same day...practically drive-thru Anyways, thrilled to hear how well you've improved. I had a good outcome w/back surgery in medieval times. You made the right decision for you. _________________________ This bunny Kicks AS !

jay_bharat Decorated_AS_Kicker Registered: 12/08/08 Posts: 718 Loc: INDIA, Tamil Nadu	Hi, Today I consulted my Rhuemy and explained my problems with difficulty in walking even a short distance even after taking heavy doses of pain killer. He examined me and said Remicade is working. On further examination, he suspected pain due to nuero claudication. He adviced MRI for canal stenosis. He also adviced nerve conduction test. I proposed to undertake them next week. I would like to know how to manage this problem from those who are suffering from this condition. Is this manageable with medication? Jay

Lon Very_Addicted_to_AS_Kickin Registered: 09/11/01 Posts: 8397 Loc: Gillette, Wyoming	Jay- Hi I have limb pain and tingling all day every day from stenosis. I am not convinced yet that it would be worth it for me to have surgery. It is amazing how much pain we can get used. But finding good endorphins and stuff to laugh at become increasingly difficult. Please keep me posted, I care. _________________________ I keep the New Covenant, when I fail....I am pulled back into place by HIM.

jay_bharat Decorated_AS_Kicker Registered: 12/08/08 Posts: 718 Loc: INDIA, Tamil Nadu	Hi Lon, I am planning for lab investigations, MRI and nerve conduction study, in a couple of days. Presently, it is limiting my movement to very very short distance. Jay
