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. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  2. P @ psychedpsych: Whew, long night of giving rides. How's y'all's night go? Im debating driving for 2 more rides to hit my goal, should I keep going?
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
