If you have, what kind, where, and.....what were the results?
I hurt my back a few times during my Navy time. A helo crash very early in my career, plus a few other bumps and grinds let to the detection of 4 ruptured discs. Last Friday, vascular doc made a 9 inch horzontal incision just below my navel. Once he moved my junk out of the way, the spine doc spread my vertbrae apart with what can best be described as a port-a-power (to relieve disc pressure), trimmed away some bad stuff, then attached what he called a 'cage' to the vertebrae. Two - three hours later I am back in my room. They let me go home Monday.
Anyone else have a similar procedur? WHat were the results?
OH, more joy headed my way next month. Same thing for my neck, sorta. Doc is going in from the front, putting in a cage and nipping a bone spur or two.
Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?
