Answer 1

I have same disc messed up. Doctor want fix mine because they say will end up worse off after surgery. Have been to 5 doctors all say the same thing. I have just kept under control for last 5 years with pain management. Shots didn't help me either. I take morphine and norco everyday for pain.
