I’ve had trouble for some time with a pinched nerve in my lower back. Went thru PT and anti inflammatory meds with limited success. Talked to the doc about the next step which I figured would be an epidural. He brought up decompression surgery. Decided on that as the success rate is quite high. Went for my pre surgery testing and my Covid test yesterday, so hopefully I get the green light for Tuesday. My understanding is it will be out patient and recovery should be no big deal.

Best of luck to you! I “went under the knife” for the first time in 74 years last December doing robotic surgery and found it a fascinating experience.

Thanks guys. Because of COVID they don’t allow any visitors, so my wife just drops me off at the front door and the dr will call when he’s finished. I’m guessing they leave me by the dumpsters so she can come and get me if she wishes . Serious though it sounds like a pretty simple procedure . Hopefully all goes well.

Sure hope you get relief. Those lower back issues can be very debilitating. I get the occasional pinched nerve for a day or two but fortunately not often.

I think you'll be surprised how simple and quick it is and how much better you will feel afterwards.

Here's to your success, may you look back in time and wonder "how did I endure that then?"

My mom had spinal stenosis surgery (don't know that's what your diagnosis is) and it really helped her.
Best of luck for a quick recovery.

Thanks . Just found out they bumped me up to 1130 am from 230 pm. This is good news because I can’t eat anything after midnight.
