[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1770093, member: 17524"] I was to have back surgery for spinal sinosis. I was in shock when the doctor told me. I went because I have pain and numbing in my left leg. So I went for the pre-op right away. That doctor asked me, are you in a lot of pain. I wasn't. Some, but not a lot. He said that back surgery should be a last resort, often times it doesn't turn out well. That was 5 years ago, at least. I take one Gabapentin at night and if I'm on my feet a lot, I take one then. I'm doing fine with just that. Sure glad I ran across that pre-op doctor. I tried calling him several times after that, but he was never in. Did he cross my path for a reason? I'm sure of it and I'm thankful. I realize my situation is/was different than the rest of you. Houston sounds good to me. I wish my [B]friend[/B] who is still suffering had gone there first. I did just find out, she had curvature of the spine and that last surgeon thought that was causing the pain. So he straightened her spine, but it's been 2 years and it still hasn't helped. She also has Parkinson's and her husband did some research on it and found. Parkinson's can cause back pain. Anyway, it's a terrible situation. [/QUOTE]
