Anybody else ever heard of this? Originally injured the lumbar spine in July of 06. Had a couple of re-injuries since then. Original diagnosis was mild herniation of L4, L5 and S1, two dessicated discs and a torn annulus.

Now, doctors can call it mild, I called it HELL, lol. Seriously, unless they've had it they had no idea how I felt and thechallenges it presented.

Anyway, the PT folk have told me since January 07 that my torn annulus was what was still hurting and that it takes forever to heal and I'd be in pain for some time. Still am and was wondering, anybody else ever had a torn annulus? Any docs out there that have had it or treated it? I'm going for a second MRI with contrast in Feb.

Any responses and I'll buy ya a Big Mac or your fav

Thanks,

Tim
