I had a double laminectomy last July for the shooting pain in my legs. It worked beautifully. I haven’t had a pain since. Is that a possibility for you?
Not sure what that is...is it like a nerve block? If so, that is not an option at this point. They say that only works for 6 months to a year and then the nerves grow back and will cause the pain again. If that’s not what it is, I will check after finding out what it is from you. :)
Thank you!

I have HNP RT L1-2 L5-1 which is protruding but not pressing on the nerve and was told by 2 of the 3 Specialist that I am not a candidate for surgery.
If they lived a week with the pain I am having they might reconsider.
It seems that I am a candidate for the spinal stimulator and at this time in life I will do just about anything to get feeling good and get off of the Vicodin.
I have terrible stomach issues and I think getting off the pain meds would be going in the right direction.
Hell I just did the math and for the five years of taking these drugs I have consumed roughly 7500 Vicodin...........no wonder my guts hate me.
