@Derm1991 The music is "little sunflower" (Freddie Hubbard) performed by an italian trumpeter, Fabrizio Bosso. BTW I do not understand what you mean with the following sentence, can you please explain?

@66blades66 isn't there gonna be a spinal imbalancment , and wont the two vertebrae came closer or even touch one the other, because we are gone have one less disc , 1 less shock absorber ???? so we are gone be shorter ??? I have a L5-S1 disc herniation and i'm thinking about this operation ....

[mhatata91]

@ApocalypticBastard8 hey, good luck my friend, don't be too scared it's an absolute relief afterwards! yep, it was hurting mainly in my lower back and leg. for me, the surgery pretty much completely eliminated that chronic lower back pain, i felt weaker and it obviously hurt from the surgery, but after i strengthened and the disc healed i was feeling much better! best of luck for the future mate i wish you a speedy recovery

@MrLuy25 Hey i am glad you are doing well. I have surgery planned in about a month. Before surgery did your back hurt or was it just your leg? I am not finding too many people with disc problems who have pain in their backs. Most are just legs. For me its mostly lower back, buttock and sometimes leg.
