Sorry that you are in so much pain. I have heard that back surgery is no fun at all. REMEMBER that a major surgery takes a LONG time to fully recover from. In my 30's had surgery requiring about a 6-7" incision in my abdomen (which is nothing compared to back surgery), and I swear it took a year to fully get over it.
And regarding your doctor... if you don't like him/her, make them assign you a different one. Mayo does not like to have you switch docs - but they will if you insist (been there, done that). A person would not take their car to a mechanic they did not feel comfortable with - so find yourself a different doc to do your bodywork.
Also, have you considered that you may be depressed due to the high level of pain and lack of rest? I know a guy who became deeply depressed when he only broke his foot and was laid up for about 4 months. Could not handle the forced inactivity (and you have intense pain on top of it all). Anyway, he needed to take antidepressants for a year. Seemed to help.

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
