I had an L5 s1 fusion in 1999 and have been pretty much pain free since. I have been able to jog, play sports, and anything I have wanted to really. Just two weeks ago some thing happened and now I am feeling pins and needle's and stiffness went to doctor and he is sending me to pt. my mind is racing because I feel like I popped the cage in my back! and he didn't even take an xray because their policy is pt first then go from there!???View Thread
