Herniated disc surgery

Hi all, Random but has anyone had surgery for herniated disc? I’m having mine in 2 weeks and I’m FREAKING out. I’m happy to hopefully no longer be in pain but I’m petrified at the thoughts of the surgery.

She was in the hermitage.

They're all very good at that. When they go to put you out, they'll just chat away to you. You'll just drift off mid conversation without a bother! Honestly it sounds worse than it is! Make sure to flag it to the nurse on check-in that you're a little anxious and they'll be able to help talk you through it more! Hope it goes swimmingly for you! Good luck with recovery too! 🤞

Do you mind me asking what hospital was she in?

@Carri thank you for your reply. Just the thoughts of it 😭 I’m terrified of the being out to sleep part and if I even think about what they do when I’m asleep I feel sick 🤣

My sister has just had hers on Wednesday this week! She was worried too but it's been absolutely grand so far. Considerably less pain now than she had before surgery!
