Anyone ever had back surgery?

I have had back surgery. removes my l3-l4 or l4 l5 discs cant remember which.

Had a herniated Disc. Was in real bad pain for about 3-4 days after surgery When ya move it feels like the staples are gonna rip out. After the first week week and a half i was doing good.

They say once you have back surgery, theres a very high percentage that later in life you will end up needing it again, as it messes up your other discs. Hopefully not as i woudlnt want to go through the pain i was in before surgery again

GOOD LUCK

yea i heard that its no fun afterwards. my only thing is im 24 and have been dealing with this for almost 5 years now. nothing has worked. they have literally exausted all other options. so maby this will work. Godd luck with your back man. thanks for the words!

I was 25 when i had mine. I am 27 now. They didnt want to do surgery on me as i was so young. I had different injections every other week in my spine, months of physical therapy. more injections, then finally they sent me to a surgeon. Atthat point i was in real bad pain. couldnt stand for more than a couple minutes. When i would bend to sit or get up i would almost fall down from the pain doing that. One time i actually did. Couldnt bend down t oget my son out or put in his crib. Wasnt very fun. I am much much better now and glad i had the surgery. My bac kwas never very stong, but i can tell it gets tired quicker now than it used to before my initial injury.

yea ive tried the injections many time with out any results. I have a 19 month old daughter and it sucks not being able to play with her. They have me on some serious meds but all they really do is take the edge off.
