I had successful surgery for a herniated disc. All the surgeon (neurosurgeon) did was go in and take all the pieces of the disc out. When it healed, the space where the disc had been filled in with scar tissue. I've confirmed this from xrays I've seen.
I've learned over the years the absolute worst thing I can do to my back is to try to baby it. Standing in one spot for more than a few minutes is a no-no. I'm much better off if I just live life hell bent for election, and if I have a back ache once in a while I just pop a pain pill and keep on truckin'.
That being said, chinning on a chinning bar and doing pullups does help, as does walking at least a mile a day. In the employment situation I'm in now, sometimes I simply sit at a desk and work at a computer all day. That's conducive to getting a back ache. However, there's a Best Buy store several blocks down the street, and I've found if I power walk to Best Buy, snoop around for a few minutes, and power walk back to the office it does wonders.
Good luck! And if it comes to it, don't be afraid of surgery as long as you're very selective of who does it, and understand exactly what they're going to do and why.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
