Well I had been having back and leg problems for almost 3 months and got to where I couldn't take it anymore and spent 9 hours in the E.R. today. Herniated disc is the problem, hopefully get to see a ortho doc tomorrow and see what has to be done.

Good luck.
Steve,
You have my sympathy. I herniated a disc in my neck this past fall. I spent the better part of the last six months absolutely miserable. On February 14th I had anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at level 6-7. I'm four weeks out now and have no more pain! I'm guessing if they know it's a herniated disc you have already had an mri. If not, that should be your next step. Every situation is different, but if possible I wouldn't let anyone try to drag the process out by going to physical therapy, chiropractor, shots, etc. Dr. Rahman out of Saint Mary's in Decatur profomed my surgery and he was fantastic. I did my research, and couldn't find a negative thing about him. Every staff member at the hospital that I interacted with said, if they or a family member needed to have this type of surgery, that they would want him to do it. Best of luck, and if you have any questions please let me know.
Going Back To Hospital Right Now, to much pain
Good luck Steve. Hope everything works out for you.
You were a fabulous host last year at Shelbyville Crankfest!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Good Luck Buddy
:pray
Good luck Steve, will keep you in our prayers.
I hope you get on the mend soon Steve! Poaching season will be here soon!
:ThumbsUp good luck
That's a son of a beach to be in that much pain, hope you get well soon my friend.
Howdy all. This is my first post as a new member, and I felt compelled to reply to a fellow crappie fisherman's post.... Someone that certainly sounds to be experiencing some of the same back problems as me. I've been down for the last month and am soon having surgery to hopefully fix my herniated disc. Been fighting this issue for half of my life and have been through so many chiropractor visits, physical therapy, MRIs, pain/steroid injections, and of course missed time at work - and more importantly - missed time on the water.
With any luck, my next post will be a month or so from now with some pics of a solid limit!
Clfarms, send me a PM if that's of any help.
Good luck Steve. Hope they get it resolved quickly.
Hoping they get it figured out and fixed for you!

I feel for ya I live in pain with my lower back had surgery also took the pain away that went down my legs but as far as the back its still there dr said not much he could do for me so good luck
I healed as of right now they are doing nothing
I have had a herniated disk since I was a teenager. Flares up once a year or so especially if I do something stupid. I try to stay in shape and keep my weight down. When it's good I don't even remember I do everything from elk hunting trips to loading deer in my truck. When it does go out I am miserable and can barely walk straight.Quote:

From my research surgery is not the way to go unless it's a problem that will not go away. The last doctor I spoke to told me over 80% of the people who get back surgery have very little to no relief.
Good luck to you.
