I have a herniated disk in my back. the pain is horrible. Is surgery risky?

All surgery carries risk, regardless of what it is for.
Your surgery is quite common.
Just remember you dont pay an anaethetist to put you to sleep, you pay them to wake you up!.

All surgery is risky.

Now a days surgery is not risky because of sophisticated advanced computerised instruments and experienced surgeons and anaesthetists. Morover it is in the back and not so deep surgery but time consuming. So in experienced hands it is safe.
