Arthur P, sorry to hear that.You have more going on then I do, guess my life ain't so bad.I have DDD myself.Your symptoms sound similar to mine. At one point I could've rented my left leg out for a dart board and not felt a thing.

I've got two cages in l5/S1 and a heat fusion was done six monthes later on L4/L5. I'm looking at more fusions down the road,be 40 in April.

I don't have to check the weather channel to know when a front is approaching,that's for sure.It has made me realize (back problems) is how precious the good days are and what a good wife is all about.
