lineman- Please get 2nd and 3rd opinions. My wife has had 2 back surgeries for issues with her discs. She has degenerative disc disease.(They degrade then shift out of place causing the pain.) They are only going to get worse for her. However 8 years have passed and it's finally gotten to the point where she does not have pain that a few advil won't fix up.
I have two slipped discs causing hip, stomach and back pain. I'm on the shelf but starting PT first then going down the line.
To make a long story short don't let anyone hack your back unless nothing else can be done. I know too many people that had back surgery and were never the same because of cutting through nerves. There are so many other options then fusing.
