[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 274726, member: 43589"] Thanks for all the advice [USER=44502]@t_spacemonkey[/USER]. I really do appreciate it. I am lost for what to do. I know now I can not do the typical pain therapy with an epidural. I have done stretching exercises for years now, every kind of pain medication except opiates. Nothing has helped. I can't work the core muscle because I almost can't walk the next day. It just gets worse and worse. I take Gabapentin on the weekends when I don't have to work or go to the gym but all it does now is help me sleep better. I did find a very good neurologist that specializes in minimal invasive spinal surgery. I may make an appointment and at least listen to what he has to say. He does seem to believe that everything needs to be tried before surgery. There comes a point where the pain just gets to be too much. Between the back, both shoulders, both knees and both feet its getting to be too much. I have had a few surgeries in my life and sure would not look forward to another one. But it seems this type of surgery is one that one hour after surgery you are encouraged to get up and walk and then go home. Rehab is very fast. [/QUOTE]
