Doc Said I Need The Back Surgery Which Includes Hardware
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hardware is screws and rods to separate the lower lumbar vertebrae and put in a new disc......question....is that the only solution? I’ve done therapy,injections and the ablation won’t work..seems extreme to me..

You’ll be glad you had it, I am. Once the pressure is off of the nerves. Good luck..

Tom...Thanks for feedback,,,Interesting thing happened,,,,my family doc started me on thyroid medicine,,said mine was to low,,,all the symptoms of low I had,,,,was not aware of that...she adjusted dose twice ..research said could take a month or so to kick in....In a month or so ,all symptoms reduced..lots energy etc. and.....my back doesn’t hurt as much,,can function about normally..I think it really helped..hope it lasts...still lead a vigorous life...glad I held up on surgery for now..
