I had lower back surgery two months ago now my left leg still hurt bad. I went back to doctor on Monday hoping I was able to go back to work but he said maybe in another six weeks.  At my job I have to life 45-85 lbs a day. I'm wondering will I have a job to go back to or will I have to go out on disability.  I forgot to mention I'm 46 yrs old and I've been on that job for 15 yrs never had a problem with my back until the car accident I do have four kids two is grown and two still under 11. When I asked my doctor he just looked at me and said stay out another six weeks? That got me kind of worried
