Well it's been a few years since my surgery. my back doesn't hurt as bad as it Did before the surgery. I wish the doctors could have done a better breakdown of my back problems and what all was causing my pain. Only after the surgery I realize now I was feeling a few different pains as a whole before the surgery. The disc replacement Did get rid of a huge part of the pain. I still have the pain on my right side. Like a needle sticking me. Doctor says it's my " facet" joints. I still take pain medicine. I hate every f-ing thing about pain medicine. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT. doctor says exercise to help build muscle stronger, I've done automotive collision work all my life. It's pretty labor intensive, I Love playing baseball and doing anything that can be done outside. I think I have fairly strong muscles in my back. But I still hurt!
