Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 hey h and sheldon, he has had 2 cortisone shots already and they have done nothing. he has been in physical therapy since june (going into the 5th month). they said he has 2 options do nothing and wait for the disc to disolve (which can take up to a year) or have the surgery to remove the disc and then have the rehab. my husband is tired of being home and doing nothing, he wants to get back to work so he is thinking of having the surgery with the hope that he will get back to work sooner. i told him it is up to him. either way the dr said the type of work that he does is no good for his back to begin with and wouldnt recommend him doing it after. first they are doing a repeat MRI anyway to see if the disc has disolved already, if it has they cant do anything anyway because it is the scar tissue that is causing the pain. jodie c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hey Jodie - well based on your response - I hope I hadn't upset you by my comments. I only wish the best for you. I'm so used to your perky exclamation marks. I hope you are doing okay and things aren't getting you down - you have so much going on - HUGS. As far as your dh is concerned - what a frustrating situation to be in - and being at home certainly makes it even more difficult since he can't be out there doing what he knows best. I've said enough. Know that if I had a magic wand - I would definately not just use it on you - but, I would wrap it up in a big beautiful bow and give it to you - Federal Express! Give your husband a hug for me. I hope that this next MRI will give you some direction. - H -- In RSS-Support , " Jodie " <jlcals2003@y...> wrote: > > hey h and sheldon, > he has had 2 cortisone shots already and they have done nothing. he > has been in physical therapy since june (going into the 5th month). > they said he has 2 options do nothing and wait for the disc to disolve > (which can take up to a year) or have the surgery to remove the disc > and then have the rehab. my husband is tired of being home and doing > nothing, he wants to get back to work so he is thinking of having the > surgery with the hope that he will get back to work sooner. i told him > it is up to him. either way the dr said the type of work that he does > is no good for his back to begin with and wouldnt recommend him doing > it after. first they are doing a repeat MRI anyway to see if the disc > has disolved already, if it has they cant do anything anyway because it > is the scar tissue that is causing the pain. > > jodie c > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ba ha ha I am sitting at my night school course right now. In fact the professor is right beside me!! ha ha! This is supposed to be a work night on our big project so I brought the school lap top in, I had no idea that I can NOT save to the drive AT ALL (makes sense, its for everyone to use)........so I luckily can connect to the internet and therefore can save my work to my school files. However, I just decided to take a break and log on to the site. Ba ha ha....you hear the rings?/ We need to laugh again, you were right we are missing that, we all have so much tension, we need to blow it off. I better go, I am now typing fast (since I know what I want to say) and she's going to clue in I am not " doing my business' anymore. LOL time for a smoke break anyway!!
