My husband passes along his sympathies and hopes you can avoid the surgery route. 10-ish years ago he herniated disks, and had a staph infection set up housekeeping. A week of steroids was bad ju-ju indeed, and the end result was a laminectomy on L3-L5. Chronic pain, oh yeah. But he can walk, which the neurosurgeon was happy to see (Eep!), and has pretty much normal range of movement. Sometimes he wishes we had handicapped placards, but most of the time he wouldn't bother with the handicapped spots.
And on a happier ending, we're both enjoying "Rosemary and Rue".
