[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 543948, member: 2211"] My sister is currently undergoing several back surgeries. She's had one on her cervical part of the spine, this coming week she's having one on the lumbar part of her spine. Once she recovers she will need one more on her cervical and another on the lumbar. She had surgery on the lumbar, I want to say L3-L5, and the dr was old school and did a very outdated procedure...he cleaned out the shattered disc but also removed the bone, yes, bone as in spine. She has a gap there that eventually caused the cervical part of her spine to shift, which subsequently caused her to need the surgery in that area or risk permanent paralysis from the neck down. That said, her advice is to be certain that the dr performing the surgery is using the latest technique and surgical technology...be certain that whatever the surgery, they are not causing another problem. My sister is flying from CT to CA to have her surgery done by one of the top spinal surgeons in the country...her H can afford that. Most of us cannot. Prayers to your mom! [/QUOTE]
