Re: Classic Diskectomy - L5 Ruptured Disk

In Reply to: Classic Diskectomy - L5 Ruptured Disk posted by Pete Savage

I'm 21 yrs. old, I've had two diskectomies, and I've herniated another disk. My last nuerosurgeon suggested a spinal fusion, but I really don't like the sound of that. I've had two cordizone-like shots, that did absolutely nothing for me. I can't work, and I can't finish school like this. Are there any alternatives to a spinal fusion?
