Any of you had disc replacement surgery? I have bad discs between L-4 and L-5, also L-5 and S-1. Numb feet, left leg on fire, lower right is the same. This is pinching the nerves involved. Doc wants to screw on a device coupling the three vertebrae for stabilization, then replace the two discs involved, all thru a 1 1/2" incision. I know things will be quite painful for a while, Doc says therapy after 6 weeks, 10-12 week total recuperation. I do trust this doctor, anyone had successful surgery of this type? Gonna have to do something soon. GW
