Back on my back

It happened again. My back went out. actually it's worse this time than the last. I have been laying on my back all week long. I had been doing so well. Walking really was helping. I had a few days where I was almost back to normal. Then I got busy with things and let myself slack off a little. I went for about a week and a half without walking at all and then wham! Now I don't know what to do. I wanted to give it a chance to straighten itself out but now it's been four days and no improvement. I called my surgeon and now I am seriously thinking about getting cut on. To be continued...........
