BACK SURGERY IS THE BIGGEST SCAM FOISTED ON THE PUBLIC SINCE ONE-HOUR MARTINIZING. I have yet to know of one person out of 50 that said their surgery was a success. I just had what I found out later was unneccessary ankle surgery. Doctors are getting lazy and doing surgery for the $$. When it fails they just drug you up. Our society is being medicated to death.

You've got to be kidding me! The guy at the dry cleaners said it would make my suit look like new.

Speaking about Rush's back surgery, I'm wondering if this surgery was for that cyst he had at the base of his spine years ago, that made him 1-F for the draft. Does anyone else have any information on further back surgery that Rush had? He conveniently didn't mention the date of the surgery in his statement.

I agree with you about this country being over-medicated. My doctor's discussed back surgery with me, but when they couldn't guarantee that I'd be any better, I told them to forget about it. I take an anti-inflammatory (Bextra) for my joint pain. I tried to stop taking it recently because of the damage it can do to your stomach, but I was so stiff and sore in my neck, I could hardly move my head. I felt like someone had punched me in the middle of my back. I still have joint pain, but it's nothing like it would be without the Bextra.

My wife had a disc REMOVED in 1992. The L-5 I think.

A TOTAL SUCCESS!

She was in constant pain for 2 years before the surgery and could not stand on her feet more then 5 min at a time. Vicoden was prescribed but made her so sick that surgery was the only option. I saw the pain up close.

RUSH has my total support and understanding. Prayers on the way RUSTY!

MEGGA "GET WELL" DITTOS!
