TweetThat sucks bro. I had a back surgery 10 yrs ago from a weightlifting injury (slipped, ruptured, bulging disk that pinched my ciatic nerve). The pain never really ends completely but don't get hooked on that oxy bro (GU is gone cause of it)...I have many friends that did and their lives are or were miserable. As for lifting...I am back strong as ever, I just don't do squats, deadlifts, or bent over rows. I don't know how you went to the gym that soon though. I was bed confined for 2 wks after surgery and then phy therapy for a couple months. I had to learn how to walk again basically. By the way, how'd you hurt it?
