HI everyone,

I am really enjoying reading everyone's posts on this site it is incredibly informative, exciting, and supportive all at the same time.

I am looking at having my L5-S1 replace in may at the Texas Back Institute with Dr. Zigler. I have had major leg pain for some time now afeter doing any kind of impact. Running and jumping is out of the question. With an 8 year old son at home it is time for me to get my life back. I have been talking to numerous doctors about what to do and of course they all have there opinion. I have been diagnosed with ddd at l5-s1 only and have good discs above and below. According to dr. Zigler I fit right in the "Sweet spot" of people who get the best results. I have always lived and active life style and really want to get back to running and horsing around with with my son.

I would appreciate any input you all can offer, good and bad. I've done a lot of research on TBI and Dr. Zigler they really seem to be top notch.

Thank's in advance!
