What other options do you have apart from surgery? My father (70)went through a similar operation in the lower back. Was back on his feet quickly and is now back playing soccer! Good luck.
As someone who sees these surgeries every single day, though I'm not a doctor, I can tell you that they can bring enormous relief to people with chronic pain. I'm not a huge fan of the whole stick a bunch of metal up against your vertebra school of though, however if he truly wants to just do a laminoplasty to relieve some of that pressure, I'd say go for it. I would advise you to investigate any and all non surgical options, however I'm sure you've already been down that road.
I layed out at pick-up today, and then noticed my left arm tingling. My lower back has been bothering me for a while, and I'm afraid this has something to do with that. I'm probably overreacting, but did the initial tingling feel like your arm had fallen asleep and was now waking up? Kind of a pins and needles sensation?
I'm not sure if I should see a doctor because this hasn't happened before, but after reading your story I'm a little afraid to let it go.
Hi anon, That was my first symptom, too, though it wasn't exactly like pins and needles. Mine was in both arms, which might be a different issue then. I'm not sure if a doctor would order any tests based on one relatively minor incident, but perhaps they would know a little better.
One interesting book is "Do you really need back surgery: a surgeon's guide to neck and back pain" by Aaron G Filler. Substantial portions are available at google books, and your library might have it (that's where I saw it). It's technical but understandable. One point of note is taht he says most back pain goes away without treatment, and if you do go see a doctor, "don't expect him or how to know how to relieve the back pain." You might not even be able to see a specialist; one place I called was booked for 6 months for normal cases.
I contacted a doctor I know, and she said that it was a good sign that the sensation only occurred in one arm, and that my lower back pain wasn't related. I also read portions of Dr. Filler's book and it put me at ease. At worst, the sensation could have been the result of a "stinger" (or "burner"), which commonly occurs during contact sports when an impact forces the neck and shoulder in different directions. Still scary (still lots of potential for long-term damage), but my symptoms were much less severe than the ones described.
Thanks for your help, and I hope you're getting some clear answers about your own medical options.

Best of luck, Jim. Keep posting updates, please.
Hey Jim,

Good luck.

Either way, best of luck.

Whether or not you get the surgery, have you done any movement rehab for the rest of your body?
There's a Z-health Master Trainer near Boston, MA, Luis Hernandez:

We all need a movement coach, and Z-health has a good reputation for getting folks out of pain...
Hi Jim,
What did you decide to do in the end?

2021.01.06酒店打工 酒店工作內容
一般來說進酒店工作有二種方式:
第一種路徑:
自己Google搜尋找酒店經紀幫妳分析(如適合哪種店家或酒店上班市場現況分析或造型調整方向以及心態適應等..)
第二種路徑:
自己姊妹朋友之間的介紹，但酒店經紀專業與不專業，好與不好….百分比各50%
1、不論是自己Google找經紀或朋友介紹，酒店打工在職前都會有行政或是至於你適合哪種店家就要依照你的條件能配合的上班時間 (【酒店小姐】【酒店公關】學姊們教你
所以不用擔心「沒經驗什麼都不會怎麼辦」的問題~(因為大家都是從沒經驗開始,妳跟目前在職上班的小姐沒有不一樣)
2、新人除非有超好的天份，否則酒店兼差前三天屬於適應期因此不必太在意得失心要給自己和店家一點的時間
3、確定要去某間店上班前，一定要了解這間店的文化，及自已的酒店工作內容
4、了解這間店的細節規定，才不會莫名其妙被扣錢!
5、出勤正常，不要遲到，(如遲到一分鐘可是扣50元!)
6、不要讓自已喝醉!!和客人拚酒是最傻的行為，雖然喝酒難免，但能閃則閃，保持自已清醒才是安全又健康的!。很多人想到酒店上班，卻沒有良好的管道。梁曉尊的網站提供大家可選擇的管道!女孩們在與曉尊用LINE對話 或者利用留言版留言時，我們的回答總是簡單且衷懇的。我們成立這個網站，是想揭開這行神秘的面紗，當然也希望招募到優秀的人員。所以我們的回答絕對是符合妳的期待。
