And yes, it does take quite a bit to bounce back from such a surgery. In the gym I can no longer do seated cable rows (now have to use the machine that supports my chest) nor squats in the cage (again, have to use a machine that supports the back). But at least I'm mobile, and no longer bedridden and stoned on pain killers. Heh... I couldn’t agree with you more regarding the pain involved with back injuries.

Mine started the same way and just a slight pain that a few months later required major back surgery. Right before surgery I have a part of my disk break off and get lodged into my sciatic nerve. Talk about pain! You never fully recover from a back surgery in my opinion. If you don't stay active then you are screwed. Oh the horror stories I could tell about my back leading up to and then for the next two years after surgery. Fitness is the key now. I never want to have back surgery again!
