Not a problem at all. 2 years ago I had begun having back pain. The first ortho doc I seen said there was nothing wrong with me. This was after MRI and X-rays. It was physical therapy time. That didn't help and just kept costing me. ( this is the point I realized that I need to get copies of the reports) about a year later the pain had just gotten worse. I sought another doc. He had me bring report and copy of the MRI. I read the report from the previous radiogist and it said a lot different then the doc.

I had a torn disc in L5-S1 and aid we caught it before it could have been maintainable. After a year of dr appts and MRI and the all so painful discography I finally had the freedom lumbar disc put in. I am currenty 2 weeks out of my surgery and the pain well let me say this. ALL medical professional and other post op patients will tell you, don't get behind on your meds. Believe this.

Now, I'm looking for support here in knowing that I am not the only one that still has pain following the highly invasive surgery. I'm not good at reading the post op CT report I do seeconcern here when I read. The report says the disc was placed in L4-L5 but doc said L5-S1 needed the disc.... Hmmmm Any and all input feedback, or conversation will be welcome. Suppport is needed. At the age of 27 this can be good for the length of my life...
