Yep, scheduling an operation to relieve these pinched nerves. Now they go all the way down to my feet, nearly crippling me.

I gotta get some relief soon, but of course two surgeons I spoke to are SO Busy!!!! Have to wait on them! Next stop, Emergency Room!

I do understand ah so well Bob. You sound like me last year. Pain pills iareonly thing that got me through it until the surgery.

Hang in there and good luck.

[Rainier70]

Good luck and God Bless you and your surgeon that all will work out well for you.

[Spotman]

Thanks Cindy, just waiting for that appointment. Call every day asking for any cancellations !



Bob

Bob,
My issue was a bone spur growing against the sciatic nerve at 4 and 5 vertebras. Relief was instantaneous right after the surgery. And then it was just 6 weeks of doing very little to let it heal. I hope your success and recovery is no worse then that. I hope this is encouragement.

PS I just signed up for the Virginia Creeper event in July. I hope you get well enough to attend it.

[Spotman]

Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water!!(Or rather camping).

Went to see my new Lazer Surgeon today, he recommended the operation, and has scheduled for April 16th if not sooner!!

April 16-19 I am sponsoring the Old Dominion Va. Beach Spring Gathering at Sea Shore State Park, like we do every year. So far we have about 13+ Tear Jerkers showing up, and I told them I may have to be brought in by Medi-Flight to enjoy this one.

I hope they can take me sooner to alleviate this Back and Leg pain!


Bob

Well I made the little rally we had here along with 17 other trailers, mostly Tear Drops and Vintage. Great Gathering.

Operation is now scheduled for April 28th by a reputable Laser Surgeon at a private hospital, thanks goodness Medicare kicked in!!

And today, some good Tear Drop friends gave me a Queen size 7" Memory foam mattress for free. I know what I will be doing after I recuperate. More comfort in the CT.



Bob

[lrrowe]

Again Bob, I wish you well on the 28th and the one advice I can give you is to do everything they tell you to do after the operation. I think I pushed it at 4 weeks and just maybe did some damage.

[Padilen]

X2,
Praying for the best outcome.
My worse spot is L5-S1 so I'll be interested in your results.

[Spotman]

I willl post after the operation. Knowing my wife, she will probably take some photos of me without me knowing it.



Bob

[Spotman]

Welllll, due to circumstances beyond my control and the doctor, an emergency came up, he had to postpone. Go figure! Maybe May 7. More mental pain than physical.

[lrrowe]

Hang in there Bob.

[funengineer]

Bob
I've had three back/neck surgeries so I've experienced your pain. Hang in there. My pain relief was immediate. Hope yours is too. Your probably not 18 anymore so don't expect to not have some nerve deficit or muscle weakness when your healed which can take a year or more.
Good luck.
Dave

Dave, thanks for the kind words. Can't remember what 18 felt like!
