14. Thank you! So far I have been pain free for 9 months

An alternative was a shot of hyaluronic acid which acts as a filler.

I thought that I tore it last December while shoveling a lot of snow. So far we've had a lot of snow that I shovel and so far - fingers crossed - only my left lower back hurts from the twisting..

So, yes, I think that I will hold on any invasion treatment and my orthopedist was not in a rush either.

Thanks, again.
