Has anyone had thoracic disk surgery, I have a midline t6/t7 herniated disk with cord compression and I have been advised that surgery is needed or I could become paralized below the waist. I have already severe muscle cramps twitching and weakness in my legs and chest pain in my lower chest region...Please answer if you can help....

I underwent surgery on my t6/t7 dish herniation,and 2 days after surgery I went home from the hospital, no pain meds after 4 days and I am walking and using a back brace when I am not resting. Fantastic recovery after surgery by a fantastic Neurosurgeon. I am feeling better each day, and I am looking for a 6 to 8 week recovery to work. Praise GOD.
