My disc between l4 and l5 was extruded and pinched off. My body aborbed the extruded pinch of disc but I am still swollen on my left lumbar side and I am still having pain. I see a doctor on August 27th. Hopefully I can get it fix and be able to workout once again!

no tubes, maybe an oxygen mask while i was out…. catheters are for surgeries that have complications and last longer than a few hours. my surgery itself was 3 hours long, and i feel great now. no more pain, no more stiffness, completely fixed the problem.

i had this disc removal done…. they called it a microdiscectomy and they plucked out the broken bits of the disc and sealed it back up with superglue (believe it or not). i was up and walking pain free within an hour after waking up in recovery….
.
my operation allowed the surgeon to get down with tools between the bones and pull out the disc….. no bone shaving involved, although i was asleep for it….
