Not good

How scary. I know there are some medical situations I think that I could seriously never go through again. I just hope you really don't have to do a repeat surgery. I'll be praying for you, and the neurologist that they would make the absolute best decision for you.

I am so sorry to hear that, TerryZ. How old are you? My mother has a deteriorated disc on her spine too and she is looking for a second opinion because she wants surgery and her doctor do not advise her to go through surgery since she is already 70 years old. But she doesn't resist the pain. If God will, she is going to seek this second opinion. As for you, I am going to put you in my prayers and may the Lord heal you and you don't go through surgery.

Oh no Sweetie I am 3 Days late on this and I am so sorry Please be strong Darling you will be in my thoughts I wish I could be there with you and give you Hugs and try and give you strength I really hope that it will not need another Surgery Oh Sweetie I am with you I love you Big Hugs with this xxx

I just said a prayer for you and asked God to heal you so that you don't have to go through another surgery. Remember that even if you do need another procedure, you do not have to be strong, you can lean on God and family and allow them to be your strength. Be well! Kerry

Hi TerryZ! I am so sorry to hear that. You can be assured you will be in my prayers. Be strong, take courage and you can always count us your friends here in myLot for support. Take care and have a nice day!

My best wishes for you.....

I am sorry to hear that Terry and I will keep you in my prayers. I know what it is like to have a herniated disc and even though I opted for non surgical treatments i.e. physio, I'm sure your neurologist will suggest the best cause of action or treatment to take. Take care!

I am so sorry to hear this about your health. I found this discussion because I just started a similar on about my little sister who also had surgery on her back about a year ago and now they found another herniated disc and she is scheduled for surgery this friday. I will keep you in my prayers and I hope by now you have heard something from your doctor. I hope you feel better soon.

Oh my dear, how i wish i do have a healing power so that i can help you to be healed. Im sad knowing your condition and it makes me wanna help you but i don't know how. All i know now that it can help is through prayers. I will pray for you, and please be strong my dear, you can survive from there. Just believe to the power of God and he will heal you.

Oh, TerryZ I am so sorry to hear this. I am glad you told us since you are having such a hard time with it. That is what friends do is hold each other up during times when we can't stand on our own. I'll be praying for you, hun. Keep us updated.

I am so sorry to hear about your herniated disc. I hope and pray that God will touch your hernia and put everything in place again so that doctors won't have to cut you open again. Your age are really prone to herniated disc so be careful when moving to avoid more complications. However, in my age, I think I got it too. Although I never had my back check by doctors because I am afraid of what they might find. I feel all the symptoms of herniated discs; I can not even sit sometimes because of excruciating pain in my lower back. I'm gonna say a little prayer tonight for you before I sleep. Cheers!

oh sweety..please do take care of yourself..i will be saying a prayer for you so hope things will be better..just stay positive like you tell me..everything will be fine..lots of hugs for you..

You have my prayers and big hugs (gently)!! I know the pain you have. I suppose it's all a matter of how you look at things, but if surgery can help you, then do it, of course after several opinions. I don't fear surgery anymore, I guess because I have had it for so many different reasons over my life, but it can't help my back pain. I would go for surgery to fix my pain soooo fast if they had such a thing. Even vitamins and supplements can't help me. If you can get help from surgery, get yourself referred to a good specialist and do it. A friend of mine had a disk that had calcium deposits growing inside it, closing around the sciatic nerve and causing him terrible pain. The surgeon went in to fix what he thought was a slipped disk and found the calcium deposits. He fixed it in that surgery which was supposed to be only exploratory. It was very scary for him and for all of us who were close to him. He survived it and healed up within a few months and was better than new. I have wished I could do that now, but it's not the same problem so I am out of luck there. He was only 23 at the time and it was over 30 years ago and he's never had anymore trouble. I don't have a herniated disk but they thought that was what I had because my pain is so intense. First my doctor who is an MD and an osteopath did some manipulations and that really didn't help, in spite of the regular xrays telling him it should. After a few weeks he decided I should have some more tests. It took our wonder efficient provincial medical system almost a year to get me scheduled for a NRI...Nuclear Resonance Image... which revealed that I have arthrosis and am actually missing the cartelige between two sets of disk (4 disks in total) in two different locations in my lower spine. They told me it will basically deteriorate and get worse as I get older. Back pain and treatment can be scary for sure. Mine is only treated with various meds (coming to a huge total each week - more than I eat in food in a month). Go for it hon. Godspeed, hugs.

Wow Terry.I am so sorry for your pain.You are a strong person to indure such pain.So don't for one moment think that you are not!Now you listen to me young lady (and yes you are still young)you stay calm have faith.Get the surgery done if need be.You have alot of friends here you can talk to anytime.We will keep you busy so you forget about your troubles.

OMG--I'm sorry I'm so late with this but I haven't been here until just now....Now you know very darn well that not only will I say prayers for you but I'll get my two kitties in on it also. I don't think anyone looks forward to the idea of another surgery, especially if it caused a lot of initial pain afterwards in a previous one. So yes, TerryZ I have you in my prayers!! (((((hugs))))

I pray for you so that you don't have to go for another one right now. But I don't know is there any other way to cure it. It is painful so if its there you will have pain sometime. So I also pray for you so that if you have to go for curing it, you can be strong enough to overcome it. You will find the strength my friend.
