Final Update … Got lucky and deliveries came early so called the doctor and they wanted to see me at 230 today … bad news is the disc is 40% more herniated than before the surgery … he was amazed I’m able to walk and not in severe pain … which makes me wonder what the future holds … said the only thing he can think is that the nerve is sitting in the area he drilled in the bone and isn’t being pressed by the herniation … he said it may go down on its own but if it doesn’t and I get in pain then the last option is to remove the disc and use a fake one along with installing screws … lord I pray it doesn’t come to that 😔
