Bop.....You didn't tell the doctor about all the shots with the 10 gauge that you missed????? That could have donated to the pain.

Seriously, Your in our prayers and if there is any thing we can do here from VA just let us know.

[Bopeye]

I appreciate all of your comments. Kinda like my internet family here......even you wise butt's........

Go to the neurosurgeon on Wednesday.......maybe he can fill me in a little more about how this is gonna be approached.

Hey Bop hurry up and get better I am planning on stopping and grabbing a bite to eat in your area around Oct 5 or 6th

[Bopeye]

Well c'mon Bill.........my back is hurt, not my belly.....

[KySongDog]

Hope you get to feeling better, Bopeye.  And soon! 

If the weight is the problem, you can drop it.  Just cut back your calories and try to get some excercise. Give it a few months and you will see a difference.  I went on a diet starting in April and have lost 55 pounds so far.  It CAN be done!  But it definitely isn't easy.

Hang in there buddy!

Well, went to the neurosurgeon today. The herniated discs in the lumbar region are coming along, but they found a new bummer. Herniated disc in the T10, which is in the middle of the back. Pretty rare for this one to be out. It is actually bruising the spinal cord. He told me to come back in two weeks and if it hadn't improved they'd order another MRI and then probably have to do surgery.

Now this surgery sounds like a fun one. They cut from your middle back, under your armpit around to just under the nipple.
They then remove a rib, fix the T10 disc and put ya back together. He said it normally took about a year to recover from the damaged tissue from the surgery, which equates to a year of pain............

I pray God has a different look on this thing.......

I am rooting for ya brother.......let me know if I can do anything for ya. I am only a phone call (and a few hours) away.

[Bob D]

I sure hope you don't need that operation James. That would be a bummer. But if you need it then you got to do what ever it takes to get yourself better. I will be praying for you.

Bop,

Relax the next two weeks.  Keep thinking of the sensitivity training and become one with nature.  Think good thoughts (O.K. you already do that one).  Do whatever it takes to get feeling better and have things slip back into place.

Dang!!! Bopster! :shck:
Just got back on the board after a spell w/ my back & having to work 12hr day shifts.
Know for sure Coyote Kate & I will be lifting ya up in prayer.

[FinsnFur]

That doesn't even sound fun 
Have you checked all options?...chiropractic?

[Bopeye]

Been going to a chiropractor for a couple months, but trust me, that crazy surgery is gonna be a last ditch effort for relief. All other avenues will be tried first. 

I think I'm too big of a weenie to go through that surgery. 

Thank you for all the encouragement guys.

Sorry I can't reply much, just can't sit in this chair long.
