I'm a guy who herniated my L5/S1 disc in Feb. 2010 at the age of 30. I've tried tons of physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, countless medications, multiple MRIs, a micro-discectomy surgery, and finally a lumbar disc replacement surgery using a SpinalKinetics M6-L artificial disc. This blog is to share my experiences with others in hopes that my journey can be of value to those in a similar situation and to keep my friends and family updated.

Mr. Nick Boeree - Killed in Motorcycle Crash
I just learned that the surgeon who did my artificial disc surgery in England was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident this week. Link to article Another Link I can hardly express my profound shock and sadness at this terrible loss. Mr. Boeree was an excellent surgeon and one of the most kind and friendly doctors I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Everyone that I have ever met that had an encounter with him also said the same. He literally gave me my life back after nearly two years of pain and other failed treatments/surgeries. I can't help but think of his friends, family, co-workers, and his other patients and how they must feel about this sad loss of such a great man who helped so many. My heart goes out to all of them. Thank you, Nick, for all you did for me.
