Best surgery I ever had ... Ruptured a disc doing a routine task, putting boat back on trailer, just twisted wrong. Went through fits with insurance.. PT liked to have killed me. (Without all the details, well some) I only lived a mile and half from work and couldn't drive all the way without getting out of my truck and walking some. Finally got scheduled with a surgeon (We lived in Va at the time) ... I was his last for the day on his Friday schedule, the following morning I was discharged. That afternoon I walked 2 miles with my wife. Monday I was back at work. I still have to watch myself, but it was INSTANT relief. I still have a little numbness in my leg, but so much better than I was.

Had it done a month before the birth of my second child. It was upper back and the pain it was causing was shooting behind my shoulder blades and into my arms. MD wanted to fuse my disc and I asked for other options. He went in and shaved the disc and expanded out the nerve exits from my spinal column. Fixed the pain immediately but I still have flair ups including one right now. Was sitting in a stand on Sunday and had my head turned for about 10 minutes straining to lay eyes on a deer that had walked up behind me and that's all it took.
In reading up on back issues, I found that some of the medicines we take actually prevent the body from naturally healing. Thought that was interesting. At some point, I will go for the shots since the flare ups seem to be growing in frequency. What medicines did it say prevented self healing?

I had a microdiscectomy done one year ago today. I had a bad bulging disc in my L4-L5 and it had my left leg pretty much useless! I could not walk without the aid of a walker nor could I lay flat. I slept in a recliner for a month and while waiting for my sorry insurance to approve surgery. I tried the deep epidural with no improvement whatsoever this time. I was in so much pain I could not do PT. In years past the epidural, PT and chiropractic care fixed me.
The surgery was successful for me but I'm not 100%. I still have some left leg pain and numbness. I can function normally now and so in my mind it was better than the alternative. My advice would be to seek help ASAP and get it taken care of. I let mine get very bad and there was no recovering without surgery. Worse pain I have ever experienced in my life!!
