My daughter is having this operation tomorrow, after suffering pain in her lower back and leg for months. I've looked on here to see if there is anyone who's had the same op, but there's very little - Phyll's thread on 'Defrag' came up, but not the same thing lol! |

I have done, Mr. M., but it's always helpful to hear other people's experiences. My daughter has been told that it may not be successful, which worries me. |

It does help if you hear from other people experiences. |

One thing I will say-it's not done unless absoloutly necessary & the result for me was I can walk. Hope all goes well. |

So long as she does as she's told after (no bending & lifting for six weeks in my case) she'll be fine. I was home in 3 days. It's really not half as bad as it sounds Wend :-) |
