Back Surgery

I haven't had it done on the low back but I had it on my neck. Took about 6 weeks before I could do much. Even then it was light duty. I had low back surgery also but they just went in and ground out calcium burrs that were rubbing on the nerves. I'd swear that hurt more than the full blown neck surgery. I have known quite a few people that had a low back discectomy and each case is different on how long it takes but generally speaking the least amount of time I'd figure to be back to normal activities is 8 weeks. Good luck. Hope all goes well.
