Bobby Buggs Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Well I was not suprised when he told me I need to get a Micro discetcomy. Its been alomst 2 months and I still dont have feeling on the top of my foot or the bottom of my big toe. Ankle flexion is only like 50% and weak. This is what I am having done http://www.spine-health.com/dir/lumbar.html Anyone have this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Sub Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 gosh, man. hope it works out have you gotten 2nd and 3rd opinions, and looked into alternative treatments at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Buggs Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I have the opinions of my PT guy and the Docs from the Spine clinic that I got the 2 injections from. The problem is this lack of function is not something you want to let go on for a long time. The docs fear if you let it go even after the procedure you may not get the function back. If Iwas just in pain I could see waiting it out and trying more shots or other things, I really dont have that much pain at all just the lack of function and numb ness which I understand is really Not good.
