Sandy.

We found out she has degenerative discs, a pinched nerve, and arthritis. She goes for an MRI next week and then possibly a Nero Surgeon. She's still about the same, not much relief for her. Thanks, Larry

Pm PawPawgene from Louisiana. His wife had surgery a few weeks back(5 I think). The incision was only 1 inch and they went in and repaired a disc. No pain since the day of the surgery, and she is almost out of her restriction period. Should be back in the boat in the next couple weeks. Way better than the old style surgery.And God bless you both. We will pray for y'all. "D"

Praying for Sandy. God is GREAT.

X2!

Larry, first off prayers for Sandy from the Ash family.
My wife had back surgery about 6 years ago after quite a few years in pain with no relief. Surgery was relatively quick and she was up in no time! She has been pain free since and it has been a blessing for her. Like "D" said the incision is small.
Keep us updated please.
Steve & Judy

she has been in my thoughts since friday. Glad Danny said something about pawpawgene's wife. I read about it in another thread.

Tell Sandy that Dee and I are thinking of her, and wishing, hoping, praying, for a return to good health. :pray

Back surgery has come a long way from years past Larry. Carol and I will be praying you and Sandy come through this fine. Keep us informed.

Darlene and I wish her well.

hope she can get relief soon..................best wishes

Sandy, hope all goes well. I had the surgery 9 years ago and it was a miracle Good luck and take care.

Gary

Hang in there Sandy and hope you start feeling well soon

Any updates?

Yes. She has narrowing of the spine, 2 bulging discs, pinched nerve. She had an MRI and sees a Neurologist on the 10th. of Oct. which is on Sat. First time I ever seen a Dr. see patients on a Sat. She also got a cortisone shot and a RX for the same stuff in a pill form. The shot and pills have really helped. Thanks.

Thanks for the update, Larry. Still praying for you guys.

Good to hear Larry, hope everything goes well with upcoming appt.

Good to see she's getting some relief, even if it's temporary. That cortisone can make you feel like Superman...er women. :biggrin

HaHa exactly what I was thinking and was about to reply, then saw Billbob's response. Ted, nobody wants you to be any different.We want you just like you are. Glad the shot's gave some relief. They work for me also.

I did say YOUR normal Ted. That both qualifies and quantifies the question at hand.

X2!!!!

Thanks for the update Larry, glad she's getting some relief.

Sandy seen the surgeon on Sat. At this point she does not need surgery. She will be getting a series of 3 Steroid shots with some medication mixed in with it. He will inject it into the area around the pinched nerve to reduce the inflammation. She will also be going to therapy for her back. This will all start in 2 weeks. Right now he has her on some strong pain pills and I continue with the dishes etc. lol

Thanks for update Larry. Will continue to pray for speedy healing for her and your dishpan hands. [emoji12]

good news :pray

Glad to hear she is feeling better...Prayers sent for y'all

Dishpan hands.....reminds me of the commercials years ago for Palmolive?

Thanks for the update and she is probably several thousands ahead on doing dishes. Still praying for pain relief.

Glad to hear she is getting some relief. Make him wash dishes as long as you can, Sandy. Still praying for you guys.

I'm thinking the next addition to the "fishing" toolbox will be a dishwasher, eh!

Good to here there fixing up Sandy, hope she's feeling better
