My lower back is junk

Oh boy I feel for you and can relate. I had back surgery and ended up with M.R.S.A. from it. They had to go back in and did a lot of clean up / slice and dice I guess you can call it. To make the story shorter some of the meds they gave me crystallized tendonitis. I have had both my achilles tendons replaced and both my hands worked on because of it. I'm 61 years old and still working on cars full time. What I'm trying to say is would I do it again? YES! I've been through hell but nothing is worse then the back pain. I will have to deal with M.R.S.A for ever but I was ready to kill myself over the constant back pain I was going through. Not all people will have the problems I did but do yourself a favor and see a back doctor. I do not blame the Dr. at all. Operations a always a risk you take.
