Re: Texas Governor Rick Perry has Spine Surgery His back isn't the only thing bad about Rick Perry. I wish him well with his back of course, and I'll spare you all my rant, but Rick Perry, from an ethical perspective, isn't someone who should be permitted to run for presidency. He's surely free to run but will do so with marginally more success than Ross Perot. My apology to any Rick fans out there.
Justin, as you likely know, JFK had major lumbar spine trouble all through out his adult life (from early 20s on) and he managed it well. He's always been a bit of a hero to me in that regard.
Spine Noob
April 2007 - Injured one cervical C6/C7 and one lumber L5/S1 in same accident
No major treatments so far aside from exercising and core strengthening best I can.
Never, ever, ever, give up.
Re: Texas Governor Rick Perry has Spine Surgery Carson, my comment was said tongue-in-cheek (I was being sarcastic).

Re: Texas Governor Rick Perry has Spine Surgery Since the media kept JFK's back problems and other health issues out of the news, it's hard to say whether he handled it well or not. We know he was able to have lots of questionable relationships with lots of women. I know nothing about Gov. Perry, good or bad. I'm trying to ignore all political speechs and rhetoric until closer to the election. We need to put in a 3 month limit of campaigning - which I've heard England has and also limit the money spent.
Diagnosis:
Degenerative disc disease throughout spine
Generalized disc bulging with mild narrowing of thecal sac in L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1.
Moderate spinal stenosis L4-L5
Foraminal narrowing
Recent compression Fx at T10,T11.
Treatment:
Spinal decompression 2007
Cortisone injection in lower back in 2010
Relieved of pain for now
Hope for ADR
