Tough decision, isn't it? I just had back surgery yesterday. I'm doing better than I expected, but I may have to cancel my tee time for tomorrow LOL.....
I didn't have a discectomy, I had a laminectomy and cyst removal. I had a cyst of overgrown ligaments that was taking up 80% of the spinal canal pinching off my nerves at the L2-L3. My leg pain and numbness is already gone and it's only been one day.
I'm in some significant pain today, but not nearly as bad as I've felt in the past. I can move around. I think it's going to be a success, but time will tell.
Good luck.
Oh, here's a pic of my back taken today.
