Anyone with experience with Herniated Discs?
how exactly do i know how good they are?
the one who im referred to is from here in indiana. He went to Indiana University and Butler University, he is a neuro surgeon who i guess has alot of experience w. herniated discs. Dr. Duncan of Central Indiana Orthopedics, i believe

Sure fire method. Find the nearest teaching hospital. Find the chairman of the orthopedics or neurosurgery department. Try to get an appointment with him. If he can't see you, get a referral to someone on his team.

do spinal decompression , go to physical therapy and listen very well and do everything they say to the tee, get a deep tissue massage once a month or week if you can afford it and strech, thats what it takes. i been in the medical field for over five years seen thousands of the same case, trust me
Ok, one last time. No one here can diagnose or treat you. You can hang upside down by your heals all day, and it may very well releive the pressure on the nerve. Until you stand back up.

I am the guy who doesn't tell people that a "fingerprint" symptom of a potentially extremely serious and life altering condition should be left undiagnosed or should be treated by those who aren't qualifed to make the diagnosis.
And I forgot to mention: You are a bike rider right? Bike seats buck a little harder than your father's Cadillac. Not a good place to be with a potentially unstable condition.

Gently, boys !
Everyone's entitled to an opinion, however ill-infomed it may be.
There has been a great deal of good advice here, from people who certainly know more about it than I do (I've had spondyolisthesis since I was 15)
punk dont talk unless you know age doesnt bring wisdom experience does.
Nope - time out.
TAKE IT TO PM'S please.
Keep it on the island, gentlemen...............

I have severe back de generation apparently from a diagnosis back when I was 25 ...was told to give up working as a plumber , not to ride anymore bikes and that if I kept it up , I might wind up with serious chit that may incapacitate me permanently ..
Dunno chit about what happened , but I stayed a plumber , kept riding Dirt and Road ... and ok , these days I do occasionally get bouts of the same pain from my lower discs that I had when 25... but I some how proved the quaks wrong !!
BTW .. my experience with back issues is just that , my experience ...I really know chit about anything like stuff in this topic ...
Just tellin my story ...
OMG ... Joe got called a punk?
Sheesh ... obviously this guy has not been out the back at the saloon ...

my question is... have any of you or do any of you know anyone who has had a herniated disc and had to have surgery on it?
Yes,i know of several people here in Aussie,who have had surgery on the lower lumbar/Disc,both male &Female.
The three i know all had success,but probably NOT all the same diagnosis to start with.....
Me personaly,if my xrays show my skeleton is complete,although a little twisted,i put up with the pain,agro,visit the Chiro once a year or if im jammed up,to each there own.
Hope you get over this pain & recover.
