I have a similar situation. Farming growing up and then plumbing for 30 years. Came up in the era of cast iron bath tubs and pipe. I have little or no disc in my lower back. Between ibuprophen,my chiropractor, and the stretching exercises he has kept me functional with only minor discomfort if I don't over do it.

I do know of a couple buddies who have come through the surgery better than they went in. I am going to delay surgery until the pain gets too bad or I can't function.

Do alot of research and don't be afraid to travel to another part of the country that has the best surgeons & facilities that regularly do the surgery that you need. You don't need the home town doc practicing on you.
