I have a similar situation. Farming growing up and then plumbing for 30 years. Came up in the era of cast iron bath tubs and pipe. I have little or no disc in my lower back. Between ibuprophen,my chiropractor, and the stretching exercises he has kept me functional with only minor discomfort if I don't over do it. You can strenghten your lower back muscles to help compensate. In my case I was favoring those muscles and they got weaker creating more problems. I do know of a couple buddies who have come through the surgery better than they went in. I am going to delay surgery until the pain gets too bad or I can't function. I have been researching this for years and believe the surgeons and the technology have greatly improved. If possible I will get synthetic discs installed rather than haveing the vertabrae fused. Do alot of research and don't be afraid to travel to another part of the country that has the best surgeons & facilities that regularly do the surgery that you need. You don't need the home town doc practicing on you.
