Not understanding why they said that. You must have just had a bulging disc, which will sometimes heal on it's own. Blown disc with nerve displacement you have no choice....I researched, found the right Neurosurgeon and he's my go to guy. When other Doctors in Dallas need back surgery they go to him...

Hey Greg, Marky Dos....
I've got degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, thinning discs, bone spurs, and fat in the spinal column displacing nerves. So, surgery is going to happen, but not until it has to

Gotcha...It's not a bad thing, very little pain Post Op....Like I said, my neck hurt for 10-12 yrs. I drank and took 10 Ibuprofin a day to ease the pain. When I woke up in recovery after my surgery my neck pain was gone, and has been ever since. Best thing I ever did. Now this back surgery......GODDAMN!!!! He told me it was the most painful back surgery there is, and he wasn't kidding. Been a tough couple of weeks.....I need to quit being a baby and suck it up....

Pain pills and bourbon go a long way

I was in the Hospital 5 days, had a Baby Doll nurse named Nikki...her and I kinda clicked. She would linger in my room after checking on me and giving me my shots and we had some good visits...last day I asked her for her # and she said she would give it to me but she was married....

I told her damn Nikki, wear a ring...

Good to hear you candid Jack, I have back and neck pain but I don't think I'm on you and John's level. (Ken and probably many other woods). Frigging gravity keeps pulling us down and we have to stay upright.
