Back in the early 80's I was diagnosed with a Herniated Disk at L4~L5, after months of Therapy, Chiropratic (sic) and Pain Management, no longer able to walk or stand the Pain, I had my First Back Surgery, a Laminectomy. So here it is over 20 years later after 5 more surgeries, Vertrabre L5~S1, L4~L5 have been Fused. I have rods & screws from S1~L3. I am in constant pain. I no longer have a job or Insurance. If you are wonderng how I am getting by, I'm not. Bankruptcy is right around the corner. But, back to the story. I remember back before my first surgery, I could not walk, afterwards I was much better and my Life returned to Normal for a few years. I was even off Pain medication, except OTC Tylenols, on ocassion. I then reagravated my back and 5 surgeries later I can walk, but without Pain Medication Life seems hopeless. Each circumstance is different, as is each person as to their tolerable level of Pain. Surgery should be considered only as a LAST Option. Incidentally, I have also had a surgery (Fusion) on my Neck, T3~T4, I think it was, I have never experienced any pain from that area since. I have had orthos, and nueros operate on me. If it seems I'm whining well it's probably because Iam.
