Unreal! I'm too young for this crap!

That really sucks. Good luck with your procedure. Hopefully, it won't keep you down for too long.

My Dad had a serious accident when he worked construction and compressed 2 discs and herniated another. His was in the lumbar region and he had a hard time walking and would get muscle spasms on one side of his body. He chose to try therapy before going into surgery. Fortunately, his PT regimen was incredibly effective and was able to avoid surgery. I think what AAlmeter said is key. He worked hard to stay active and really take care of himself, and he still does what makes him happy.

That makes me feel better! Thanks guys, I just didn't and still don't know what to expect so it can get a bit scary as a first timer looking at any kind of surgery.

Cheers everyone!
