I'm old!!! AND I get surgery Nov 11th to shave the bone in my back, and move the nerve, so its not pressing, and the pain and numbness in my leg will go away...in theory.
Dr. McCall says that there is an 85-90% success rate for this type of back surgery, and as they go, not many complications.
I won't need a brace after, and I won't be able to drive for a month. By mid January, I should be able to go back to work doing light duty.
No lifting over 10 pounds for 6 weeks after.
I'm so stoked, I can't wait!!!
