My oldest daughter had surgery for a herniated disc last year and is doing fine now. My wife, whose herniation is one vertebrae higher and a bit smaller, is due for her 3rd steroid injection June 2. The first one did squat, but the second one gave her some relief. Surgery is a last resort, but often is the only permanent cure. The bad side of coping is that you either limit your activity or risk addiction to painkillers.
