Has anyone here had back surgery? I have two collapsed disk (thanks to an 18 wheeler at 55mph) and have done the back injections, physical therapy for 7+ months and tomorrow I have an appointment with my Doc who gave me until last Friday to start showing signs of improvement before talking surgery. Well on Friday at therapy I read my review that they are sending the doctor. It said, “his progress has plateaued”. So I’m sure I’m going t hear about surgery. Just wanted to know if any one has had it and how they are know.

(Plus was the discogram really as bad as I have read)

My father in law had back surgery mid August, couple of vertebrae fused and some kind of funky new discs put in. His problem was long term and then exascerbated (sp? oh hell) made worse, by a trip to a chiropractor.

He was in the woods for Moose season 3 weeks later and truckin' around pretty good for the deer season early November and other than being careful he is now in much better shape and in no more continuous pain. No question it was a good call for him, and he had bypass surgery only a couple of years ago too.

Just like getting a new longitudinal put in.
