Agree with the get it done now crowd. I waited a month too long using the conservative approach with shots and the lower spine, assisted by a growing cyst between L3/L4 took out my right foot at the ankle. Total no-go for the last six months. Have had to change my whole life style what with a foot that doesn't work anymore. Got the rig on a permanent site on the coast and am keeping the truck because I'm not giving up on the foot getting re-motivated when S1 finally reawakens in that area.

Had an L4/L5 Lamenectomy many years ago. I was paralyzed for 18 days. Waited too long, same as Greatwhite. Have a little drop foot in my left it overall almost perfect.
You have our prayers.

We would like to apologize for having to cancel out of the Fall National Rally. This was a very hard choice to make, but it is the doctor's orders. Charlie is having back surgery on Sept. 9th. He has a nerve pinched off which is causing his left leg to be totally numb. We have enjoyed working to help make this rally a successful one. Will miss not being a part of this rally.

Thought we would explain. I have degenerative disk disease. In 2005 I had back surgery where pins and screws were put on L-4/L-5 vertebra. I had pain and numbness in both legs. This surgery was good for 7 years. In 2012 pain and numbness returned to my left leg only. Another surgery was done removing old hardware, new pins and screws were placed on L-4/S-1. Now the S-1 screw is loose causing narrowing of the nerve channel, pinching the nerve going to the left leg. He is going to go in from the front and put a bracket on the front of S-1/L-5 vertebra to open the nerve channel and stabilize the vertebra. The hope is after this is done I will regain control of my left leg.

UPDATE: As of Thursday Sept 4th Charlie's surgery has been canceled. He had pre-surgery testing done this week and on his chest x-rays something showed up causing the back doctor to cancel his back surgery. We were told something had to be done with the lungs before he could go thru a back surgery. So we are awaiting an appointment with a Pulmonary Specialist.
We have had experience with a spot on the lung. The Dr went in and took a sample and looked under the microscope. It turned out to be an infection. Antibiotics and it shrank. Now, we just watch it's size!!!

Best of luck and May God bless you and him during this trial.

Prayers to you both. A friend of ours had back surgery scheduled and the same thing happened to him. They found cancer in his lungs. Today he says the back surgery saved his life because he wouldn't have known about the cancer. Today he is cancer free, and never felt better. Here's hoping you'll have the same story.
