Bren.....I sympathize I waited way to long to have my buldging disc removed, I had severe leg pain, down both legs, and suffered for 30 some odd years with it.....I just had surgery 12-21-06 in Las Vegas with a wonderful NeuroSurgeon.....he uses the most up to date techniques.....I'm recovering right now, and will be relieved when this is all healed and I can resume a normal life again.....get your back checked out....with the latest procedures its a snap to get it fixed now....I sure hope the tumor or whatever it is will turn out benign for you......Best Wishes for a speedy recovery......why wait til this summer for the surgery? |
