[QUOTE="tat2bass, post: 8189201, member: 635306"] Anyone on here ever have one? Long story short, I broke one of my vertebrae last year while I was deployed. Medical care ***** and they just give pain killers and tell you to drive on. Well one year later of it getting worse and going through numerous appointments I have finally been given my prognosis. My broken bone fragment has migrated into the nerve canal for my left leg pinching it off and it was still attached to the disc and tore it beyond repair. So I will be having surgery soon to have the bone fragment removed and a fusion performed on my L4/L5. I'm wanting to see who else has had one and some tips on what to expect and for a better recovery. I'm wanting to stay in the army still after this so I will need to be able to ruck again with full battle load. I also want to be able to play basketball again. I used to play for some of the all army teams and want to get back to some level of competition. Thanks in advance for any advice [/QUOTE]
