After having been off work for 3 months , I have a slipped disc and went hospital yesterday. And they told me there referring me to see a surgeon. All I done is cry I really hope it get better by itself and it is a bit better then what it was . But as soon as I try and do things I can feel it and then makes it hard to do things .... my question is the lady said there's 2 options the injection and something else . I was so upset I didn't get all info , so does anyone have a idea what be the best to go for ? Am just praying for a miracle that this goes before surgery
Thanxs

I had a microdisectomay 2 years ago. It is a very common small back surgery, mine took 20 mins although I was out for 3 hours with the general anasthetic. You'll need 6 weeks off work with progressive physio.
Best thing I had done, the injections were offered, but I didn't see the point in delaying matters. I could see from the MRI intervention was needed.
Seriously, don't worry about it. You just need to take it steady after the operation.
