backs problem

[tigerlily11]

Hello.
I am just looking for a bit on information and advice concerning a back problem I have.
I have had a scan and so on and I have been told I have a ruptured disc between. I think they said the 6th and 7th veritbrea in my back. It is causing a lot of pain and they gave me an epidural back in January that lasted about 6 weeks. Since then I have had pain killing patches but the DR told I cannot stay on them and the disc will probably have to be removed.
I would like to know if any one on here has had this done and what difference it has made to the pain and there health and movement. Does it help? Is it any more painful than the disc being there?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks for your time.
