Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

but I am walking 3-4 miles a day, spaced out in 2+ intervals, and by the end of the day, it's all good. A little neurontin does help tremendously in the morning. I hope I do not develop some sort of tolerance to it, it's very nice to have a drug at hand that does its job without turning me into a euphoric maniac or a drooling zombie.

I was told yesterday by the physician that I had 90% of my disc left, that what he snipped was actually the stuff inside that squirted out. Gross. He did say I had an 8% chance of re-herniating (strange %age) but if I did, it was fusion time. If it comes to that, I may lean on you for advice, as the only other person I know that had fusion done is a Type-A manly fuckwit who is to the right of Hitler, and he'll just say something like "I was going 800-lb bench presses the next day, but you liberal types are frail." He never misses a chance to exaggerate or attempt a pathetic jab.
