Hey dude,
I’m currently on Med Hold with an L5-S1 degenerated disc and massive herniation. The pain got some bad I came forward to flight med and DNIFed myself.
I was in 38s at Vance and am here just waiting to try to get back into an ejection seat. Who knows what will happen.
TRUST me I understand what you are going through. I have done a ton of studying on these injuries and can help you understand better what is going on.
