Had the same herniation between the L5 and S1 discs! I spent 2 weeks on bedrest and oral steroids and avoided surgery! 
I have a UPJ Obstruction in my left kidney. Basically, there is a blockage where the kidney drains to the ureter. I had a stent put in to open it up, but I still need to go every 6 months and have a renal scan to check it out.
I'm blind as a bat, but I do not know my Rx. My contact leses are -7.0 and -8.0.

Almost 1 year since I had my spinal fusion. I'd say at this point it's been a complete success!!
I had so many things diagnosed within my reproductive system I had a complete hysterectomy plus ovaries out at 32.
Cancer, cysts ,fibroids,endometirosis the list goes on and on.

I had a prolapsed disc also, its 4/5 (the same discs as my sister and father have had herniated)...I have just been through 12 sessions of acupuncture chinese herbal therapy and have found no relief. I find if I keep moving, it feels better, its just getting up and down.
Do you think its a genetic condition the predisposition to have these problems???

After an unsuccessful laminectomy at L4/5 for a foot drop and herniation, I was fused and, aside for nerve damage that acts up, I have never felt better!!

I am every doctor's dream come true with my "list":
1. Hypothyroidism
2. PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome--real fun when you're TTC)
3. Herniated disc - my L5 was improperly formed and, at 27 years old, I have the discs of a 60 year old.
4. Chronic eczema that pops up randomly on various parts of my body
I could go on and on...but no one wants to hear my sob story!

Hyperemisis Gravadarum
It's a pregnancy disease and it's awful There are a few of us on here that have HG.
The research on hyperemesis gravidarum (or HG) is limited compared to some diseases; however, there is some information we do know.
Causes of HG
Unfortunately, there are no known causes of HG, only theories. It is likely that HG is caused by a number of interrelated factors that vary by woman and by pregnancy. Treatment thus differs because women will respond differently to medications and other interventions. What is known, however, is that it is not all in a woman's head. She cannot control being sick and is not causing her illness. Sadly, some health professionals are not aware of the research proving physiological changes are responsible. It is truly a disorder of pregnancy that requires serious attention to avoid a worsening of symptoms and complications.
Possible Complications
When HG is treated early and effectively, she may still be somewhat miserable, but both mother and baby will typically not suffer any serious complications. She will likely experience extreme fatigue, depression, anxiety, and stomach or throat pain. Other complications become possible if her symptoms are severe or prolonged. Adequate care and social support decrease the risk of more debilitating complications.
Risks & Outcomes
Most mothers with HG have normal babies and recover within months of delivery. However, those who are refused care, becoming malnourished and chronically dehydrated, are at greater risk for problems with either mom or baby.
Research shows that women who lose more than 10% of their body weight and/or who are unable to gain weight for two or more consecutive trimesters are most likely to have complications. Although medications present a risk, dehydration and starvation also can harm the baby. Early intervention is the best strategy to avoid complications for both mother and baby.
