I had microdiscectomy Oct 13th 2009 for a herniated disc L5-S1. Prior to surgery I could not move. i was trapped laying on my stomach on a bed for 9 weeks in sheer agony. I still am on lift restrictions and taking some percocet and flexeril for back pain and stiffness but the horrible pain down my leg is 99% gone. My next step is a few physical therapy sessions and should be back to near normal. Just remember you will never have a 100% healthy back. Learn correct lifting techniques and be careful.

The orange juice thing is concerning another thread I started. LOL
These are the same discs i will be having surgery on. How did you feel right after you went home from surgery? I will be taking care of myself.
