Thank you. It is tough not being able(or allowed I should say) to bend or twist.

Man hang in there I think I'm having the same problem with my back. My L4 and L5 are deteriorating I saw my X-ray and it looks like I didn't have full set of my L4 and L5 discs having pain with walking standing can't pick up anything over 15 pounds lost of balance sometimes man I'm 52 did nothing but hard labor work mostly construction but I'm really not sure about having surgery on the back I no it might help but just worried it might get worse...

I worried about that too but soooo many people I've seen it has helped, right after the surgery it felt better, I can walk easier, stand easier. I don't do any hard labor anymore, if I did, I don't think I would do it after healing from this, I wouldn't want to stress out the upper vertebrae any faster than need be. I'll see how it goes though, so far so good.
