                        They still haven't perfected the back surgeries.  I have a tremendous surgeon and he agrees that a 2nd surgery is no guarantee.  Try a reputable acupunture doc. if you are seeking relief from your discomfort.  I have to go periodically to one so that I don't have to use pain medicine.  Good Luck.
