One success with trimming the disc herniation
My neigbour had his disc herniation trimmed about 11 years ago. He's fine, and he plays intensive baseball all the time. It's the ONLY success story I know of. When I had my disc trimmed, the surgeon told be it works on 19 out of 20 people! I have a hard time believing it, since all the hoop strength of the disc is gone and trimming it just weakens it further. Anyway, mine only held for 6 months and I was careful about not lifting.
