[QUOTE="GMN, post: 492618, member: 2382"] We went in and talked to the doctor today about the results of the MRI.He has 2 spots that are herniated, the S1 andf L5. He said it could still heal on its own, that surgery should be the last option, to give it more time, and then maybe try the cortizone spinal shots, but they don't always work for all people and are fairly expensive. So, he has decided to wait, and take another method of cortizone pills for a week, and some stronger pain pills on the weekends. I sure hope time heals it up for him. The thought of surgery scares him, plus then there is downtime from work, and even with insurance it would be expensive with hte high deductible and all. Of course the goal should always be to get better, but I sure hope that can be done without surgery. Thanks for all the replies. Gail [/QUOTE]
