give yourself the time to heal before you do any thing. it can take a long time to heal.

I understand. I had surgery in april and i still am healing. i keep wanting to jump the gun and do something i shouldnt. I want to feel better now --but i need to be patient and wait for it to heal. how long ago did you have this surgery?

Yeah, i know-that's the way i feel! i guess we'll both just have to be patient! i had 2 disc removed from my lumbar region on sept 19th, then the most extreme disc in my cervical region with fushion(metal plate with 4 screws) on oct 31st! i still have 5 other disc herniations in my spine, plus sacroiliac joint dysfunction...i'm hurt'n!
