Default Before and After MRIs

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking time and responding to my post. I am posting 3 MRIs (one before my microdiscectomy/laminectomy surgery, one right after I reinjured myself and one couple of months ago) hopefully this will give you a better idea on my situation. I saw a laser spine surgeon yesterday for a revision laser spine surgery and he can try to fix the leg/back pain but it's not guaranteed since I had previous surgery (not to mention that insurance doesn't cover it and for $22k a pop, I'll pass). I have couple more appointments/2nd opinions coming up before my Dec 13 surgery which would hopefully help me make an informed decision.

I heard of something called prolotherapy. Did anyone hear anything about it and how effective it is?

Good luck with your surgery danzintommy and keep us posted on your recovery.

Thanks everyone
