John,
Though my experience in golf remains in the miniature division, I can only suggest that you be careful.
Discectiomies can be a quick fix and a permanant fix but they weaken the disc and put an increased burden on adjacent discs, making it easier for them to weaken and herniate. Without a crystal ball, no one can say what will happen in your specific case but extreme care is your best bet.
Percentages for success decrease dramatically in 2nd and 3rd discectomies and create more scar tissues which decrease the chances for success in ADR surgery, should you eventually decide to go that course.
Common sense is the name of your game. I do wish you good luck,
Dale
