Ten years ago following a tumble I had a L2 lumbarectomy, that is to say I crushed the second vertibrae up with the one above and below it.

 

The surgeon fixed it with a pound and a half of titanium and enough follow up xrays to make me glow in the dark:laugh1:

 

It stoped me climbing for a month or so but I made a full recovery and on the up side I am now worth more as scrap than most people.:laugh1:

I agree that a good osteopath is important. I broke my back and am now paralysis chest down. Continued working as headgroundsman at a hotel with 100 acres and our own deerpark. I also visit spinal injury centres giving advice. I hope your hubby makes a full recovery but life goes on for us all.

I have got through a few wheelchairs in the last 9 years lol

I have had prolapsed discs in the lower back for years. I walk like a gorilla at times and have a job to bend to do up my laces. I have had great pain and I have moaned about it.

 

Reading this post however, has given me one of those 'life defining moments'. I can work,I can walk, I can sort of bend, so I am going to try never to moan again.

 

totally inspirational, 'headgroundsman':thumbup:

Best thing to do would be to try and get an mri scan, there's a place in Cheltenham (charity) that charges £220 for a scan and a diagnosis, if it is badly pressing on the nerve you might need a microdisectomy - sounds worse that it is, all they do is make a small cut in you back and remove some of the disc that is pressing on the nerve, i had one done last year and was back to light work the next day - the surgeon didn't think that resting it would have improved the healing process.
