Well, when the pain is more than sporadic, you may change your mind. I have had a surgery for a bulging disc, plus 2 others on my back and 2 on my neck. surgery is a serious thing to consider, for sure, but I had no problems staying still with all the extra pain meds I was given for post op pain. The pain meds usually do the trick, and I never remember having RLS after any surgery, except one where they gave me the wrong anti-nausea med and it triggered it off. Lots of people worry that they may not be able to stay still.

I may change my mind but for now im ok as said they only did MRI on lower back was just to check on sciatica wasn't expecting the others so not sure if there's anything higher up yeah i know you've had ops for lots on your back i've read a few times , i know my own body and yes my biggest fear is keeping still they'd have to knock me out for how ever long watching calf muscles move on their own is bad enough i've broken my ankle before now and didn't go to hospital with it fear of it being put in plaster so far as pain goes i can cope .
