Looks like maybe facing another back surgery. Have just gotten MRI results & have another slipped disc. See my back surgeon soon to talk about what needs to be done. I just hate even thinking about it. I sure could us some feedback .

 
That's a tough decision. Having had no experience with actual back surgery, sorry I don't have any advice. Is the disc in same place as your prior problem?

 
No it's in another place. I had my MRI & see my doc as soon as he looks it over. I hope it's not as bad as the other one.

What type of doc are you using an Ortho or a nuerosyrgeon?

 
He is a spine specialist & a really good doc. He did surgery on my back in 2001. I have really bad DDD. I have narrowing in the foramen & it may mean they have to go in & also try to open that so it doesn't pinch on the siatic nerve. It sucks to have such a messed up back. He is not knife happy so I know he want do any surgery unless it is necessary. I also have a very good pain management doc who is very generous with my pain meds. Which is hard to find. He gives me 40m OP & Percs. I don't take the OP as I have been able to maintain on the Percs & I don't want to build up a high tolerance. He did stop writing for my sewma's which really sucks as they help me a lot . I don't know why everyone has suddenly stopped prescribing sewma's.

Sounds like your in good hands and It helps to have confidence in your docs. Wish you well!  Our gov likes to create other markets thats why there is no S@ma!

 
Thanks Dave202! I remember when I was nursing sewmah wasn't even a scheduled drug. It's amazing to me that it's easier to get Percs& OP's than it is sewma's .

 
Hi Nickiean, I'm still not able to PM you.  Wish I could, I wanted to ask you about some sewmuhhh advice.  If I find a better place I will try to let you know in code or see if you are registered on another board so I can PM you there.  Yes, it's hard to think you can get THOSE coveted items you have more easily than you can get somuhhh. That's crazy!  Especially when adding in the sewmahhhh would help you decrease the PK's.  Sorry about your DDD.

 
I just got the MRI results back & looks like I have really bad narrowing of the foramen which is pinching the siatic nerve. It looks like he wants to go in & open that up & get that off that nerve. I really hate the thought. I also wish I had my PM option back. I have seen others get buy with a lot worse than me. It really sucks as I would never do anything to put the board at risk. I don't know if I will ever get it back. After what happened with some very trusted people taking advantage of so many I can also see both sides. It is really hard to find our beloved sewmah since SDS went under without paying dearly for it.

 
Cat you are greatest!!! Thanks so much. I go for my doctors appt. Mon. to discuss the procedure. Not looking forward to another surgery.I hate the pain after surgery. That's the bad part of taking pain meds daily because you're tolerance is higher. I have a nice stock pile of OPs if I need them. I take my percs on a daily basis but I think I will cut back some so I have better relief after surgery.
