Stop in for a cup of coffee

Been there

Discectomy / Laminectomy L4/L5. Huge huge difference... But mine blew up so surgery happened pretty quickly
I was pissed. Went to the OP Surgeon. They did x rays and when they saw issues they did a scan. I went in for a consultation and they told me I had 3 problem areas and they always start at the top. They wanted to do 3 separate procedures to get to my lower back. I said screw that and went back to my chiro. That was years ago and so far so good for the most part.
