: I was dissappointed to be told
: that I should not expect the 12mm slippage between L4-L5 to get better, it
: will probably get worse with time. My pain is not caused by missalignment
: but by the compression of disks. Apparently there have been many surgeries
: to fix alignment problems that didn't result in stopping pain.My 2 cents.
I had surgery to remove a herniated disk and I had it a few years before they started using micro surgery for the procedure ... the outcome was just fine. Lots-o-people have had this surgery and as far as I know, the results are good for the overwhelming majority. Seems to me that it's a mechanical problem that needs a mechanical solution ... the disk shouldn't be allowed to continue to impinge on the nerves.
Good luck!
