Eifert Had a Disc Removed

[KansasBengal]

I had a disc removed at age 34. L5/s1. It was first herniated, which caused a lot of discomfort and some sciatica in my leg, then it ruptured and the only solution is to go remove the pieces. Didn't require a fusion. Scar tissue builds over time. You get a tick shorter as your spine settles. Not a doctor but this is me as a former patient relaying my experience. Day after surgery I was up and walking, no more leg pain. Much relief. I think I wasn't supposed to lift much for 6-8 weeks. It was 10 years ago and I've never looked back. Hope Eifert has a similar recovery. Back injuries and the associates pain affect everything.
