I had my follow up with ns today, and I'm gonna have ALIF, in couple weeks. I have major degeneration at L5-S1 and found out today the the disc is collapsed. :''( I did ask dr about the ADR but he said that that procedure has not had very good results yet for the lumbar region. I have mixed feelings about doing this but I also realize that I have to get something done. I have been out of work now for 6 weeks trying the conservative approach, and it has not helped one bit, in fact the numbness and tingling are worse as to the point of being a burning sensation now. :O Well, that's all for tonight.

I will keep you in my prayers and wish you all th best. Keep us posted on how it all goes.'
GOD BLESS!!
I must say that I am scared about this surgery, but I'also had a gut feeling that this is where I've been headed for quite some time.
Thanks to ya'll for the comments & wishes for the surgery and I hope everyone has luck in one way or another with their problems. I've been trying to find a post where someone recommended things that would be helpful post surgery, but can't find it. I will have my husband there to help with things. I will keep ya'll up to date on my newest adventure in life
