Follow up on leg pain -- Spinal Surgery?
Thanks to all who suggested I see an ortho to rule out spine issues. Turns out that at L4/L5 I have pretty severe spinal stenosis. The ortho thinks surgery is my best option, as other options would give me short lived or incomplete relief. I'm inclined to agree, since I'm still fairly young (64) and

Likely final posting
A few days ago posted was entering hospice, below is a letter sent to friends and family. In my situation looks PC will not be fatal, but another disease. In my situation there is no medical cure but only the peace the Lord can, has, and will provide. Please no judgements or 'fixit" ideas, instead

Neck and shoulder pain
I’ve had neck and shoulder pain that’s been getting worse over the past two years.

I feel I am progressing well the first 5 minutes I tend to feel tired quickly then it seems to clear and I can just keep going. Question is when to hit the tarmac as I have been running in the fields following spinal surgery July last year?

Possible back surgery questions.
Soon I will be seeing a spinal surgeon for my lower back. Have any of you had spinal surgery while on prednisone? If so how much were you on? How long did it take to recover? Thanks My spinal injections are only lasting a few weeks now.

Has anyone had ACDF/Discectomy & Spinal Fusion Surgery?
Has anyone had this surgery? I’m a potential candidate for this is have large herniated discs in C5-6 & C7-8. My Neurosurgeon said that first option would be a nerve block of pain wasn’t improving (it isn’t) but I feel this would only help pain and wouldn’t sort out the problem itself. I’m a 30 year
