Hi Regina, So sorry your surgery was so disappointing. Don't give up hope. I have a cousin who for yrs could barely walk and had terrible pains. He used a scooter. He had had several back operations and most of them only made things worse. I saw him last week for the first time in many yrs and he is now walking and able to do lots of things. He walked up a huge flight of stairs, can carry things, work on ceiling fixtures. He has lots of stamina. It is amazing. The medical doctors had given up on him. He told me a chiropractor and acupuncture have brought about his recovery. Guess there is hope. He was a real basket case. Hopefully someday we may all find an answer like he did. Natalie B
