Do they grow hair back too? I've got this little "patch" on top that's beginning to worry me; I'm afraid it's going to effect my virility!

But seriously... I know what chronic back pain is. If PMT is legitimate excuse enough to kill someone, then "a bad back" is excuse enough for genocide! Nothing drags the spirit down like pain, nothing skews the perspective like pain, nothing segregates like pain, and nothing feels so good as the loss of pain.
Good on you Richo, and good on the doc's for doing the un-doable.
