A story about a herniated disc that burst, leaving me unable to move and requiring surgery

A friend who was in so much back pain that they couldn't even move.
Since there was no pain, I didn't think about calling an ambulance and drove myself to the hospital.
The test results showed that a herniated disc in the lower back was treated with surgery.

This is an old story. During a time when I was just starting to adapt to society, I received a phone call saying that I had a severe backache.
Since it was not far from home, I went to see my friend, who was lying in his room unable to get up and moaning in pain.
A few days ago, I made a reservation at the hospital because my back was hurting so much, and I was told that it might be a problem with a herniated disc.

However, that morning when I woke up, I couldn't even get up.
First, I quickly called the hospital where I made the appointment and drove there immediately.
They are so sensitive to shock that even a tiny brake causes them to scream in pain.
We somehow arrived at the hospital and were immediately admitted to the emergency room for tests.
In short, the diagnosis is a herniated disc, which is now very common, and to put it simply, it can be treated with endoscopic surgery.
It is said to be a surgery where something like a balloon is inserted into the herniated disc.
For someone like me who usually only thought of surgery as going into the operating room, getting anesthesia, and cutting through flesh with a scalpel, it was a very different kind of surgical experience.
I contacted the family members and proceeded with the surgery immediately.
It seemed to take about a couple of hours, and after the lumbar disc surgery, although he was clearly in pain and struggling, he was no longer showing the sensitive and difficult reactions to even small shocks like before.
After lumbar disc surgery, I went through a difficult time with rehabilitation therapy, but since then, I have been doing well.
After experiencing my friend's lumbar disc surgery, I always try to correct my posture a little more consciously.
When I have a mild body ache and my back hurts, my back is so weak that it's even difficult to cough.
It would be good for everyone to always maintain proper posture and do stretching to prevent problems with herniated discs.
