darrinhurst Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Walker, I had back surgery to repair a herniated disc about ten years ago. The issues didn't clear up immediately, it did take time. That and some Vioxx (no longer available) helped too. I found that the swelling from the surgery was still aggravating my sciatic nerve which was still causing me leg pain. I still have back issues to this day, but I think the beer belly MIGHT have something to do with that. What sort of issues are you still having?

Taco Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Worked for me.. I went from 10-12 weeks of debilitating back pain per yr to maybe a week total in the next 18. Still have some leg and foot numbness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker1 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 My symtoms are still quite severe leg pain and sciatic down left leg. Second knife job was 20 days after first and doc took 50% of the disc out. This was at L4-5. Now the disc above has a bulge! very frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
