Dear Hazen,
    Last winter the New Yorker magazine ran a
wonderful, 6 page article on why you should NOT get
back surgery! 95% of people with herniated discs will
heal without it, eventually. I got 2 herniations in my
lower back last year and could not walk at all for a
month. I lost my house and shop due to being unable to
work, but its much better now. It may be very
depressing at times and you might fall into a very
black pit of despair, but wait if you can. Mine healed
with prayer, nutritional supplements ( Vitamin C.
etc.-ask a good natural health expert )  ranged around
my bed, and a LOT of TCM (Turner Classic Movies).
     Good Luck!
