disc replacement is not alternative surgery. I had one in my lower spine. it is more common than you think....if this is the issue. I don't know for sure....just what I read
I waited till the pain was too much to even walk but then again I'm not a pro athlete, so I see both sides. If it's replacement then it's a serious operation.
A spine surgeon needs to make this call. Get 2 opinions. I had a herniated disc for many years in lower spine until pain was too much and had the disc replaced. Rest and rehab will help but the disc will probably get worse over time and eventually surgery would be necessary
there's nothing comforting about this. Eichel, Reinhart, Risto and Ullmark want to leave and we have an inexperienced GM and pretty much absentee owners in charge.
