Well, back to see him again, I have an appointment this Afternoon to see what the next step is.  Medication will NOT be the answer and I have no desire to repeat surgeries every 6-9 months.  I was recently hired at my dream job, won't start until the 5th of July (Program Manager of Puget Sound Safety Off Road (PSSOR).  Part time gig (100 hours a month) and any training classes I teach.  They are aware of my pending surgery and very supportive.
Wish me luck :)

The job sounds perfect for you!  Hoping the doc has got an answer........other than pain meds!

That is awesome!  (The job, not the continuing back issues).  Good luck with the Doc and enjoy the new job.  Pick a position that you love and you will never "work" another day in your life.

So, basicly I was told to "Suck it up Buttercup".  Nothing this doc could/would be willing to do.  I'm seeking another surgeon as I will not live a synthetic life.

And Jeremy, I agree completely ;D

SOP, I don't know your situation but have you considered acupuncture as a means to lessen the pain to deal with it? I had muscle spasms in my lower back and three visits did  wonders for me. It's like anything to get a good person doing it, but might be an option for you short term if nothing else.  Good luck. JP

I have an inversion table, works wonder, but the pressure on the hips?  I will be trying out an accupuncture treatment, they can get pricey but if it works?  My issues are a herniated disc, degenerative bone loss, and Stenosis.  I'll keep on trucking, just need to pace myself better and avoid prolonged repitition.  Leverage is my friend (and a big backhoe).
