Dave,
Good luck and speedy recovery after surgery. FWIW, back pains forced me to retire early and I have three disc that are bulging but I really am scared of the surgeries on the spine and refuse to do it  I'm a chicken,what can I say.

Has anyone had this done before? I have been fighting a infection and seem to be having more problems than I should have.
