Sorry that you are in so much pain. I have heard that back surgery is no fun at all. REMEMBER that a major surgery takes a LONG time to fully recover from. In my 30's had surgery requiring about a 6-7" incision in my abdomen (which is nothing compared to back surgery), and I swear it took a year to fully get over it.
And regarding your doctor... if you don't like him/her, make them assign you a different one. Mayo does not like to have you switch docs - but they will if you insist (been there, done that). A person would not take their car to a mechanic they did not feel comfortable with - so find yourself a different doc to do your bodywork.
Also, have you considered that you may be depressed due to the high level of pain and lack of rest? I know a guy who became deeply depressed when he only broke his foot and was laid up for about 4 months. Could not handle the forced inactivity (and you have intense pain on top of it all). Anyway, he needed to take antidepressants for a year. Seemed to help.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
