He just had another back surgery. Only caught my attention because I am dealing with lumbar spine issues. They are not conducive to professional athletics (nor beer league stuff like I do).

Sad to hear that. I have my own lower back problems and can't imagine trying to be an elite athlete with that issue.He just had another back surgery.

My issue is degenerative disc disease, plus arthritis of the facet joints. I had a rhizotomy (basically cauterizing the nerves) at L4-L5 and L5-S1 and that helped a lot. Just hope the nerves don't regenerate.Could wearing a supportive corset help either of you guys? I had back problems that I was unaware of until the first time I hit a sled at NU. After three rounds on the sled, I was in severe pain and worried that I'd never play again. They fitted me with a corset and my back never bothered me again playing football.
I think that they tend to so it is likely you will need the treatment againMy issue is degenerative disc disease, plus arthritis of the facet joints. I had a rhizotomy (basically cauterizing the nerves) at L4-L5 and L5-S1 and that helped a lot. Just hope the nerves don't regenerate.
I had terrible back trouble from my early 20's to my mid 30's spent many weeks on the floor. Couldn't even come to the table to eat. Against all advice I started running at age 34. At age 62 I haven't had much problem since. Sometimes if I over do it, but all I have to do is go for a walk and it goes away. Ran 6.3 miles this morning in 58 minutes. Drs said I had Ankylosing Sponyilitis, maybe my joints just fused up.Could wearing a supportive corset help either of you guys?

I am in the process of publishing an article on this topic. I will post here in a few days. I threw out my back 20 years ago. I do core work, cardio, and don’t lift anything heavier than 10 pounds. Helps,but I still have trouble from time to time from golfing. ThanksMy issue is degenerative disc disease, plus arthritis of the facet joints.

Thanks for the tip.I was the CEO of TranS1, a company that produced an implant called AxiaLIF with a demonstrated 94% fusion rate and a procedure performed on an outpatient basis. I have no skin in the game now (with another company), but if I had an L5-S1 DDD or spondylolysthesis issue, I would be looking at AxiaLIF first.
Placing that thing is an outpatient procedure??Thanks for the tip.
Managed Care is moving everything to outpatient. Send the patient home with a boatload of opiates and the insurance company saves big $$'s.Placing that thing is an outpatient procedure??
