Herniated a couple of discs five weeks ago and am now at the point where my painkillers actually work. 
still training though I have had to modify my workout to twice a week; upper body with no compression on the base of my spine. Routine simply consists of five sets of chins/pull-ups so I can do back and biceps. Machine bench and Flys and single arm tricep pushdown using cables. Also doing tricep dips and chest dips with a few sets of light concentration curls. I simply couldn't let my efforts go to waste so I'm fighting my way back but gradually and carefully.
