Burn the nerve roots? Tried that, the little bastards grew back.I'm telling you, just find a neurologist willing to do a rhizotomy for you.
I have mine done under waking sedation. I'm out of the hospital like 2 hours later.
Only "cure" left for me is to fuse L2-S1, which my neurosurgeon doesn't want to try since he's never done that before, and as long as I have one good leg and a set of crutches they can go to hell on that idea.
Being a stubborn old fart can be a good thing.
I'd have to be in a hell of a bad state to buy a Ford...I had to end up getting the fusion
