a 4 level lumbar laminectomy myself.

Bummer. Some years back, I was diagnosed with Spondiliosis. The X-rays didn't
look good, and the pain was pretty nasty. Fortunately, it responded to physical
therapy. So far, I do ok most days if I don't skip my exercises. I will continue
to avoid the operations as long as I can.
