I just don't think your back is ever the same once you have had a herniated disc especially if it was bad enough that it required surgery.
This is not true. In general, roughly 50% report decreased pain and disability, 25% report more pain, and 25% report no change. At 10 years after surgery, there is virtually no difference between those who had surgery versus those who didn’t.
Bottomline, you have to evaluate each person individually to determine how they are doing.
