    Ive seen a dr, 3-4 times now. He's a spine specialist. He wants to do a neeve conduction test in two weeks.

    At my last visit, he got the results of my mri, and asked if I wanted a surgical consult, I said no.

    So Im gonna roll with the advice here, hit my core and stay away from the knife.

    Went to PT today, she said 2/3 of my deep tendon reflexes were absent, and the 1 that was present was week, indicating continued pressure on the nerve root at L4, L5,S1

    I still have moderate weakness of the left foot, very mild pain at worst now

    Overall feeling better but the absence of reflexes coupled with weakness has me worried

    Im scheduled to see a surgeon in a few weeks, want to see what his opinion is. Of course he'll say surgery will make it better, but Im more curious what recovery looks like with prolonged pressure on the nerve root, with PT/Massages and Chiro. He's a good surgeon amd everything I've heard is that he's super busy, doesn't need the business and is honest

    The PT said today "have you considered seeing a surgeon" I thought "fukk lady, you're my last line of defense here, your job is to keep me off the surgery table and you drop that on me?"

    Kinda telling when a PT asks that question

    Basically I've got 2-3 weeks to hopefully feel even a tad bit better so I know I'm on the right path

    If I don't get any better in that time, that puts this injury over 2 months old with ongoing problems that could lead to issues later. Would be tough to say no to surgery

    :/

    Why Jesus infected me with shingles? Why would he do such a terrible thing right before summer season? I don't deserve it, I'm nice with people and never hurt anyone's feeling ever in my life.

    Ya, I saw the durgeon and he said based on the herniation, it wasn't getting better

    My back dr agreed as did the PT, Chiro and PCP

    On a more positive note, I had a massage today. She said you can leave your underwear on or take em off, I steipped right there in feont of her, lol. She wasnt ready foe that but it set a good vibe foe the rest of the massage. Shespent a good 10-15 on my chest and anterior hip. Just before that she said she could probably do the entire massage with me face down.

    Funny how quickly that changed

    This jokester announces yesterday he's having back surgery, he reappears today and posts in several threads, and doesn't even mention how he's doing?

    Did he make up the whole thing?

    Was it just a ruse so he can talk about his huge penis?

    Is he out shopping for RVs?

    What's going on?

    Pics of my penis are currently making the rounds d/t multiple PM's asking about it. For those that saw it, it got much bigger after surgery

    Surgery went well, outpatient. I still have burning in my left foot but the pain is gone for now, now part of my right leg is numb

    Don't know what to do with that

    Living in pain sucks, brother.

    Hope yours dissipates soon.
