My Microdiscectomy Back Surgery Experience L5S1- first day

I had a microdiscectomy done yesterday evening and thought I would share my experience. I'm not the most articulate speaker so I thought I would clarify some things here...my MRI was apparently deceptive in that it showed that my condition was 'not so serious' (which a doctor actually said to me me after I burst into tears telling him about how much pain I was in and begged him to just cut off my leg)...but upon opening me up the surgeon (different guy) saw that my nerve was extremely pinched in a way that the MRI didn't show very well. I tried all the alternative methods I listed over a period of at least two months for each one e.g. massage therapy once a week for two months. I continued the things that worked and discontinued the things that resulted in no improvement (steroid injections did not help me at all). I also forgot to mention- the two most annoying parts about the procedure were the IV and also the sore throat from the air tube thing...so during the first 24 hours I wasn't even complaining about my back! It should also be noted that I was able to eat an entire Chipotle burrito for dinner after the operation. So far I have no regrets...well I regret not getting this done sooner! This condition has defined me for the past two years and although the recovery will be long I am already feeling a difference!
