Well I have my surgery date of 6/3. I an of course nervous. He said he thinks the siatic pain will be better. He showed me the MRI on my Left side & the bone spur is impending on the nerve. I will have 6 weeks if BLT restriction. I hate that but am glad they can do something to help. Nickiean

 
@nickiejean...that date is coming up quickly.  how long will you be in there for?  I really hope it helps significantly and that the effects are lasting, even a reduction in sciatic pain will be liberating! /default_smile.png what is BLT restriction if I might ask?

 
I will be in 2 days if all goes well. No bending, lifting , or twisting. I agree if he can relieve that constant siatic pain it will be such a relief as no pain meds help that. I have a very generous pain doc & I get Percs 5 per day & oxcee 40 - 3/ day. I never take the oxcee unless my back really flares up. Even those really don't help that nerve pain. He feels he can relieve that pinched nerve. You could see how much it was pinched off on the MRI. He says it will be much better. I can't wait to have that gone.

 
Tomorrow's the day. I go in @ noon & my surgery is at. 3 PM. They took away my Celebrex 5 days ago. & now all my joints feel like I have the flu. You don't realize how it works till you're off for a few days .

 
I take some celebrex too and it does work well with inflamation and arthritis type stuff. Good luck on your surgery!

 
Best wishes NJ! Wishing you a successful procedure and speedy recovery!

 
Surgery went well. Doc said it was worse than he thought & that the bone spurs & arthritis had flattened the siatic nerve to the size of a ribbon. He had to start at the top. And work around until he could get enough of it around the nerve as not to sever or damage the nerve. He said the nerve would plump back up to normal. I already feel better. Of course that maybe do to the roxi 30. & Valium 10 he sent me home with. They gave my the big D after surgery. I had never had that before & it worked well. I am so glad to have it over with. & back home. I hope it takes care of the siatica. That is the worse kinda pain. Thanks for all the support guys it meant a lot .

Good to hear. Hopefully each day as you heal you will continue to notice the positive effects of the surgery!

 
Ugh! Nerve pain is the worst! I really wish you a successful recovery and pain free life. I am afraid this surgery may be in my future as well.

 
I have sciatic nerve problems as well, it is so painful. Mine is in the middle of my right buttock, it's because I have a pinched nerves in my back. I have been dealing with this since the early 2000. It's very painful, I feel your pain. Did the surgery help? I am terrified of surgery now since I had a bad surgery on my back and the doctor messed it up worse than it was. I have been to several specialists and they all tell me the same thing that it can't be fixed it can only be treated with med's. I hope your surgery gave you some relief. Please give us a update on how you are.

  1. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  2. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  3. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  4. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  5. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  6. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  8. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 my boy from way back is a die hard NOLA fan we have some pretty solid back n forth trash talk thru the years haha
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: lol trust me you will. We are the worst team in the league. I think we had like 24 yards of offense in the first half last week or one week. I haven't seen it this bad since before Drew Brees was QB.
