Since my problem came at a early age, the doc's opted for partial disk removal. But that meant a longer recovery (3 months) and I have to make sure I always exercise. With this procedure I have complete mobility. My back will let me know when I am slacking and I need to kick it in gear.
My father had disk fusion and his recovery was much faster than mine. (6 weeks)
Make sure you go to a highly recommended back surgeon, and go for it. If your in pain like I was the surgery was the best thing ever!
