I am faced with the prospect of have a "discectomy" some time this month. My question(s) is this: If you have had back surgery, how soon were you back to work? Any tips for a speedy recovery? My wife will say that I'm a pussy, but what drugs should I ask for?



(Me likey the drugs

) Oh, here's a good one...Have you had more than one operation? (Doc says that chances are I'll be back in the future..)
I appreciate any help or advice (or ridicule) that you ALL give. I want to hear it all, so fill this thread with all the medical advice you know
P.S. For all you content sellers out there - Don't worry, I'm a couple weeks away from being gone for god knows how long, but I'll make sure to buy lots before I'm gone

Let me know your BEST deal before i go.....
