My pain is so bad that I have decided to have....
surgery. Yes that is right. Surgery #6 in 18 months or surgery #5 in less than 11 months. The last CTScan shows that I have bone spurs pressing on my nerve.
The injection last week did not help and I decided not to do another one. I am going to have a mylegram done and then most likely have surgery on November
8th. I want to go to rehab this time. He and I think that was the problem back in September. After being in bed for 5 days and then just going home I was tired
and did not want to do anything . So that is what my game plan is. Thanks everyone for your supportMelissa
