The problem is spur growth around a nerve in the spine and that affects my legs...can't stand very long or walk very far. It's painful just to work over the kitchen counter and range to cook a meal.

My doc hasn't recommended any compression treatments. He is an osteopath, so is familiar with chiropractic treatments also, and they haven't given me any relief.

I haven't gone the route of the pain management physicians as yet, and the surgery doesn't have a good success rate.

Prayer is my best recourse at this time, it appears.

Thanks for your response and prayer.

Would you like to be added to the Monday Prayer thread ping list?

My mother had surgery to remove an arthritic spur growth from her spine which was giving her tremendous nerve pain and leaving her practically immobile. She had 100% recovery. The pain is gone.

Back surgery is always the last option, but in her case, it worked well. It was practically an out-patient procedure with only a two-inches-long incision. I think she spent one night in the hospital.

As with all surgery, it's the skill of the doctor that counts. If you go that route, ask around and find the very best one out there.
