any mommas that have had back surgery prior to pregnancy?!

At age 18 I have a severe herniated disc that resulted in partial cutting of my sciatic nerve making me lose function of the muscles in my right ankle and foot for several months. I have had to get some spinal injections here and there but it's been about 2 years now since I had issues. I have narrowing of my spinal column and 2 buldging discs above the one that was removed. I am 9 weeks pregnant and yesterday the pain hit me. I figured it would come much later once I started carrying a belly around so I'm hoping this is a fluke, but either way I am miserable and feel that I can't even stand up straight or rinse my hair in the shower due to the arching of my back. Has anyone experienced these things during pregnancy and if so, how did you cope?
