As the title says my orthopedic surgeon informed me that I need to have back surgery to fix my problem.
So what is my problem? (insert sigh) I herniated two discs in my lower back on september first while stocking automotive lead acid/AMG batteries at work, the worst one being L5-S1. I have pretty bad lower back pain that varies from mild to severe, I also have sharp jabbing pains down my left leg that never goes away(well none of this goes away), and last is weakness in my left leg that causes me to limp and work my right leg and lower back harder.....thus causing more pain.
I have mix feelings about the surgery because of the small chance of shit going wrong. I want the surgery because i want to be done with the pain and get back to work....I cant live off the shit pay workers comp is giving me and the pain keeps me up untill im just about dead and my body givs up and falls asleep...and then I toss and turn untill the sun rises and back to square one.
So with all that said I need some advice! some people say its too soon to get the surgery and others say do what the doc says. I myself find myself torn on the subject. I absolutly NEED to get back to work ASAP but I also need to see whats best for MYSELF and my Family.
In all truth I could give a fuck about the company I work for and the reason being is because stocking a pallet of batteries is a two man job and should have pleanty of time to do it, Not myself and rushed by a idiot who loves to push a promotion promise if shit gets done. (im the go to guy that gets shit done)
