Is this in OT this time???!?

Im not sure if I have to have one but I have had a lot of back problems for the last 2 years or so. In Jan of 2010 I got the pain in my right buttocks and shooting down my leg. The pain is horrible by the way. It took them til Jun to give me cortisone shots. I had 3 in June and 1 in January 2011. The pain was gone from June until January of 2012. I had 2 more shots at the end of Jan 12 and 1 in Feb. The pain went away but there was always uncomfortableness. A few days ago the pain came back and worse than ever.

I *begged*whined*cried* my way into a dr visit today. I have been in bed for 2 days. I haven't ate anything of real substance since Monday. I haven't had a bowel movement in 2 days which is very weird for me. The pain in unabated and absolutely horrible .

I have been looking online and it looks like maybe I might have to have a surgery to clear this up. Has anyone every had this? Whats the pain like? Recovery? Will I ever be able to play hockey again? skate? Thoughts, advice?
