I had crushed nerve roots twice, to my legs and to my upper left side of body (via neck C vertabrae). Both times I waited until the numbness turned to constant pain. At one point my left arm shriveled up. I finally got a laminectomy. Basically just having the bulged part of disk cut out to relieve the pressure against the nerve root. I argued against it and wanted fusion. I told the doc "trimming" the disk made no sense to me. My take was - if the original full size disk failed, then a trimmed-down smaller one with the same stress on it would fail even sooner. The surgeron did it his way. I was back to work in three months and six months later back in the hospital, worse then ever. 2nd time they fused my vertabrae using pieces of my hip bone. That was in 1992. Still holding up and I've done a lot of heavy work since then. With fusion -it took me 6 months to get my braces off and a full year before I could work hard again. Two 2-3 more years before my damaged nerves got better.
