[quote="drdawg"] I have had chronic back pain for fifty years and sciatic pain for the last twenty five, so its not like I can't take pain. Perhaps it is my age, but I have grown weary of that pain. I feel I have nothing to lose and everything to gain with the surgery. By the way, I had back surgery in 1990 for a twice-ruptured disc, so I do have some experience in both the surgery and the expectations.

I missed seeing this; -- are you getting ready for surgery soon ?
