[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 86317, member: 1233"] Thanks all! I do try to be a good rehab patient. I know that it is teh stretching and walking right now that I need. At this point, they have recommended that I not walk a whole lot. The bulge is BIG, and so are the spurs. My mom's chiro is amazing. I had him evaluate the MRI. I got his report telling me to go get surgery. He NEVER NEVER NEVER advises that. He says it is way too far gone for chiro treatment. And if happened very quickly, as far as symptoms. The bones spurs were not quick, but the disc itself is degenerating, as is much of the other cartilage in my body. I will work on the PT and epidural, and then see what we see. I do know that some great surgeons are hideous people, but this guy was both awful in outcome and in personality. He also did not know much about sanitary practices. He pulled a safety pin out of his pants pocket and wanted to prick me with it to test for numbness. I DON'T THINK SO!! NOt our of your front pants pocket to stick into my skin, not even a little bit. And his hands had dirty fingernails. And felt grimy when he grabbed my hand. I am just very picky and spoiled about using germy things. Thanks for hte support ladies!! Susie [/QUOTE]
