The way you described your pre-surgery thoughts sound just like what my bro was saying. He swore he was getting better after living with pain for 5 years. He just about bailed the morning of surgery. He’s so glad he didn’t of course. But like you said, all we can do is research and make the best decision we can. And I agree…3-4 pain is a world away from 9-10. It sounds like from what I hear you will definitely be getting better and better over the next year or more. I’m sure you’ll get there.
Curious, what Chiropractor did you see in Keller?
Hopefully in January I’ll be around your area a lot…getting ready for surgery. Hopefully I won’t need another discogram…ouch! It might be good to meet you prior to surgery…you can keep me from backing out…hehe.
