Most of you know I have been struggling with back pain for over a year. It has gotten worse in the last 3-4 months. I had a MRI done Dec. 31st. I already knew that I had 3 disks that were deteriating but I have two cysts - one on each side of my last disk (L5-S1) and bone spurs on each side.
I talked to the orthopedist today and I will be having surgery soon to remove the synovial cysts and the bone spurs. I just decided it would be easier to blog here that to call everyone and let them know.
The surgery shouldn't be two bad and I will need to "take it easy" for 3-4 weeks. I need to ask the surgeon to define "take it easy" for me because I doubt if mine and his definition is the same.
It is already turning in to an exciting year. Hope it slows down soon! I will let everyone know when the surgery will occur, soon I hope.
