Microdiscectomy?
Hi,
Did you have microdiscectomy for a central protrusion that was compressing your spinal cord? I didn't think this was possible because of the location of the herniation. Thanks! Marita

Hi Lillyth,
Can you elaborate? What does it mean that they can be done at levels? Thx! Marita

I mean the levels you injured are candidates for the procedure. If done soon enough and not left to develop DDD.

O.k. Well, I've already been told I have DDD, so maybe this is why it has jot been recommended to me. ( Sigh.)
Thx! Marita
