Is Surgery Needed For Constant Pain Due To A Ruptured Disc?
I have a ruptured disc which occurred 20 years ago. I have been getting along OK until recently and now have constant pain. Is surgery the answer, if so what would that entail? I am a recreational golfer and want to remain active and able to play golf
