I have had a micro-discetomy which is what you are talking about. The disc is flattened and is irritating the spinal column. All that is done is to trim the O.D. of the disc back down to size. It will do nothing about the fact that it is flattened. I have since had a spinal fusion and Now I am classed with (and get this: this is a medical term) failed back surgey syndrome. All the work that I have had done is for naught. I still have a very bad back and, according to the multiple orthopods that I have been to, all they can do is keep fusing more vertabrae. I am actually looking into disability. Bad backs really suck. I can't stress enough to people to take care of your spine. It is the center of your physical universe if you know what I mean. I wish you the very best of luck and TAKE IT SLOW AND EASY!!!
