Yep, dealing with.same thing. Herniated disc working out about 6 years ago when i was 25. Finally had surgery 2 yrs ago only to reherniate it again 5 months after. Another surgery, was doing great and was in a very minor accident (rear ended) aggravated it again and back where i started. I haven't had a fusion. This will never go away. Aleve helps. Surgery helped not having terrible nerve pain down my leg as bad and the back pain until i was rear ended, now its just bad lower back pain when i sit. As far as workers comp, hopefully they won't screw around and prolong the inevitable and take care of you. Its on your boss that didn't report it when you told him, not you. Do your research on types of Dr's and treatment and see what will work best for you. I dealt with it for so long I think it did more harm then good. I would do the surgery again if it came down to it.
