Hi, I was not on Talk for while. I did have a surgery October 2012. I am back to work since January 2013, working full time job. Will have MRI in October and visit with Dr. F., 1 year after surgery. I'm doing really good, just about everything like before surgery. There is some pain, when I sit too long, I will get up and walk, that helps. Also standing too long, is like I have to get moving. I am lucky, because I have a job where I can sit and walk, so there is no problem. I have to be careful lifting, and also twisting. Going down stairs still gives me problems. But I can sleep on my back (it was problem before surgery). Truth. Yes, there are times, when my back hurts and I will use ice pack. But not as often. I hope this helps you.
