hi im jesse im 18 years old and i was diagnosed with degeneritive disc disorder. the doctors wouldent let me or my mother see the x-ray and mris until after the surgry but they kept saying. they dont understand how im walking. they said the pain i shoul have ben in was enough to criple most people. this was folowed by pain tolerenc tests. i got one of the highest scors in my town. the reason i say this is because acording to my doctor i had three buldging discs for about  years. and if i had known earlyer i wouldent have needed surgry. but any way i had a laprascopic surgy. they went into my back from the right side. and remove 1 of the three discs. the next day the pain in my leg was gone completly. my doctor said it could be 6 months to a year before i can begin light joging. and then he siad i might not ever be able to play sports or be active. sports are my life im 260 pounds i play football, wrestle, throw for track and field, and i do mma. iv always had a dream of joining the mariens. i just want to know if there is any hop of me going back to the way thigs were or is my life over befor it begins.
