    I had a slipped disc in 1988 and still get back pain as a result, but fortunately these days it's something I have learned to deal with. Usually tasks like gardening or mowing the lawn will set my back off, but a dose of Ibuprofen before I start usually relaxes the muscles enough so that I don't end up in terrible pain.

    I have had 3 back surgeries in the last 5 years, all L5/S1. Two laminectomys and the final one which was a full discectomy with fusion. All though I am immobile, I still have daily pain and use natural as well as prescription medicine to get through each day. Good lens.

    Very informative lens. My husband had back surgery about 8 yrs ago, prolapsed disc. He couldn't even walk, it was so bad. He recovered well and doesn't have many problems, only if he over does it on the shovel. Having back pain can tear your life apart. Nice lens.

    An amazing and detailed lens filled with very valid and important information. Well done JasmineAnn. I have struggled with back problems "forever" and I am doing all I can to avoid surgery. But this kind of information is essential. Blessed!

    Very informative lens, I had back surgery a few years ago. Actually I had a micro-diskectomy first, that didn't work and then had a fusion. Back pain can change your entire outlook on life and I am so thankful to have had the surgery work! I wish the best and plenty of pain free days to any of you that are suffering with this.

    Happy Holidays!
