Jaba, I know all about the back issues. I have had three back surgeries on L4/L5/S1. The last one was to "shave down" bone spurs in the spinal column that is cutting off the nerves to my lower body. I am in constant pain but there isn't much else they can do because the shaving surgery is wayyyyy to risky anymore. I hope they can find a simple, safe and pain free fix for you
