I was just diagnosed with a double layer herniated disk in my L4 and L5. I am being given an immediate transfer over to a neurosurgeon and that has me a little nervous.
What are some methods of treatment for this condition? I have already undergone physical therapy with no success on relieving the pain, so at this point I am really not sure as to what is used to correct this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I broke my ankle and had all the cartilage removed. What kind of physical therapy am in in store for?
I’m writing a story with a character who is recovering after being shot twice in the upper abdomen. There’s muscle damage and one bullet hit the spleen, but otherwise, nothing vital. What type of physical therapy exercises would she undergo in her recovery?
I figured alot of this would be working with different therapies such as speech, physical, and occupational to restore one to his or her maximum ability. What all do nurses do for these types of patients? I am kind of interested in this field of nursing but don’t know much about it. Thanks
degenerative disc disease with nerve pain down both her legs. tried everything so far – shots, acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractor, pain meds, etc. she is not a candidate for surgery because of her age. i hate to see her in so much pain and heard from a few people about this patch. i also heard of a morphine thing surgically inserted into the spine. so confused ….. anyone have any thoughts on this ???
