Sorry new thread for a possible new procedure..

See : http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=118367

well i ended up having 3 shots with the last being the first week in July. The pain is back again. I saw the doctor. They are sending me for a discogram and another MRI. They are saying since the steroids arent having a lasting affect , that surgery is now my option. They said they could try ablation or nerve blocks but they dont usually help with pain going down the leg as intense as mine. They are thinking a laminectomy would probably help me immensely bc a lot of my problem is caused by stenosis. Anyone with experience with these?
