Hurt Back - can you play standing up?

[shummie]

Hey Macoy.

You maybe didn't want this to turn into a thread about your back.

I had a "bulging disc"/"siatica" problem 'couple years ago. I had extreme pain in my leg from it. Sometimes it hurt to sit; sometimes it hurt to stand. I was warned away from surgery by a few sources, but eventually had a "lamenectomy" where the surgeon cut away the part of my disc which was bulging. I woke up from the surgery with no pain. I have a two inch scar on my back from it, but after PT, no long term effects.

I know there are different forms of back pain, but if your problem is similar to mine and your pain doesn't go away after a month or two, I would consider surgery. Be careful though.

Regards,

Jason
