July 2nd I had L4 and L5 back surgery. Before surgery my sciatica type pain was
not terrible but very irritating. Three week after my surgery I am in more pain
than before the surgery. To be honest I wish I had not done the surgery.
I have heard from several others about the same surgery and that it did them
no good at all. Anyway, I have never given up on anything and I am hoping
it eventually turns out ok.
