I just wanted to extend a warm welcome to the support group - I've noticed you have responded to several posts here -

I looked at your bio and you really didn't leave much of a story (click my name or pic and read mine) -

I just wanted to ask if you have a copy of the written report of your MRI or CT Scan?? If so, could you please give us a list of what has been found?? this way we can help you more with your questions and concerns.

as a rule of thumb - surgery should always be the last resort after all other treatments have been done and failed -

welcome aboard and let us know a little more about you and your spine problems -

take care - Joy

Excellent idea starting this thread for mellycooper, Joy.

Mellycooper, Joy has given great advice as always. You are replying to many posts, but maybe we can confine this to one discussion to help focus on your issues and answer your questions based on our own experiences.

Joy, myself, and a few others have created stories that describe our health experiences. To read a member's story, click on their avatar picture or user name. It may take a few seconds to load, but you can then see their profile page which includes their story if they have created one, and a history of their posts. I think if you take the time to get to know us that may help answer some of your questions.

I hope this helps and we see more posts from you.

Click on my user name or avatar picture to read my story.

Blessings,
