I was sitting with my mother in her surgeon's office for her last checkup on her most recent kyphoplasty, and study the different injuries to the spine that occur on one o f those wall charts. The ruptured disk looked like the worst of the bunch. I know your wife is an M.D., but if you need a good doctor, Stephen Johnson who is asociated with South Shore Hospital has taken care of five disk on four occasions in my 86 year old mother's spine. The last one, in the o.r. at 7:30 a.m. and home by 2 p.m.
The stain looks like a chemical residue. Hope you feel better soon.
