My dad had a disc removed and my other half has broken his back. Its very painful, need help with washing and going to the loo. Laying in bed for 6 weeks makes it hard to walk again after as your body has got used to laying down, have to be retrained to walk correctly. But it's definitely worth it! You can do most things again, be warned though don't over do it, you will be more vulnerable to back pain.

Well, if there is any possibility, you should not go through the operation. Your back will never get really OK.
Firstly go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect is, that the pressure on the discs is distributed much better - and the bad discs may recover.
I don't know your situation - but if you can imagine to live another 3 months without operation, you should give it a try.
Just - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It's really worth travelling far.
