March 1991 L4-5 hernated. Shooting pain down left leg.
March 1992 massive disk ruptures at L4-5 and L3-4. Incomplete injury S1 & S2 both left and right. Diagnosed: Cauda Equina Syndrome.
Pain keeps me from sleeping for several days at a time and if I fall asleep it will wake me after 1 to 4 hours. Then it starts all over,
I try to stay busy woodworking. I enjoy fixing things. I'll try to fix just about anything that is broken.
