[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 681722, member: 16501"] Had a microdiscectomy of the L5 disc in the fall of 96. Went back to work about 2 months later. I was 32 when I had the surgery and I am 45 now. I started at UPS when I was 20 and I think I did the damage to my back as an unloader in the mornings by hopping into the trailers with no stretching. Young strong and foolish. To answer your question the surgery is not bad. I have only a small scar and no pain. I weigh the same as I did when I started at UPS which helps. I know some who have had the same surgery but are carrying a lot of extra weight that haven't fared as well. One question I asked the first surgeon who was going to do the surgery was "How many of these do you do a year?" He answered about 5. I asked the same question of the next surgeon and he said about 7 a week. I went with the experience. [/QUOTE]
