[afterburn 549]

I have had all sorts of broken bones, and last spring I herniated a disk.
The pain in the leg was so, SO bad I could almost not walk.
After much research, I discovered that the disk protrudes out into the S. nerve.
This is the cause of the pain dwn the leg, the burning, the loss of use, the numbness on the top of the foot.
The good news in a high percentage of these types cases, the body will slowly eat it up.
It did. ( I guess?)
That it would take a few months and a LOT of pain pills to survive.
I still have limited use of the right foot, but getting better, and the pain is 90% gone too!
Moral of the story- don't get in a hurry to get under the knife!
At least with a Hurnated disk.
