To day my husband and I went to his doctor to see what the MRI had to say about his back.. his doctor showed us what the MRI looked like and she said she needs to do surgery on his never by his fifth vertebrae.. they will cut it and clean some of it out.. and he has a bone missing from that spot in his spine.. she said that there is a 50/50 chance this will work and if it goes wrong and his spine can shift they will have to do a back fusion on him.. I hope all goes well with this.

That's really delicate condition. If the spine is open, wrong move can cause paralysis. Do you know what approach is the doctor going to do?

@hillhjill I am sure things will be fine. After the surgery, he will avail physiotherapy services as the next thing to happen.

No I don't know what approach she is making.. I know that she is very good at what she does tho.. and I do worry I try no to but it is only natural to do so.

I try my best not to worry and he is in a lot of pain.. they have him taken pain pills and a never pill just to help a little.
