My cousin’s husband has had great success with his inversion table.
But I yet to meet anyone who has had great success with surgery.
Almost all I have known to have back surgery have had little success.
The most recent friend to have back surgery ended up with continuing pain and numbness in one leg months later.
The numbness in his leg led to frequent falls.
The doctor kept telling him to continue his rehab and give it time.
We've never met, but I had very successful back surgery 12 years ago. Ruptured, collapsed, disc, severe pain. Now I am pain free thanks to lower back surgery and I had nerve damage in my back due to polio as a child which caused additional lifelong pain. You just have to be very careful lifting anything.
