The disc causing problems is on L5-S1; 3 years ago, I had surgery too: the disc on L4-L5 was replaced by an artificial disc!
I believe his was L4-L5- They had to put in rods along the side and pins for when they pulled the spine back in place. He isn't having any "back" pain- he feels well enough with that - but its the inflamed nerve that is causing him the most pain. It isn't near as bad as it was the week after surgery tho - the Sunday following surgery he was sobbing by the time he got back to the bed from the bathroom. He is improving everyday - Thanks Lut for asking- but I didn't mean to "hiJack" YOUR thread!
