Re: Back Surgery in the Morning

More than luck, I hope your surgeon is skilled and educated on the latest techniques. It can make a huge difference in recovery time.

Re: Back Surgery in the Morning

I had a herniated disc surgery 2 weeks ago between L5 and S1. The herniation was pushing on the sciatic nerve. I had zero back pain, and uncontrollable pain in my left leg. They used iv steroids and iv pain meds, and oral muscle and nerve relaxers. Nothing worked. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days, and had surgery on the 5th day. The pain in my leg was immediately relieved, I just had a week of discomfort from the surgery itself. I have 4 more weeks of lifting 10 pounds or less. At 33, I have a lot of lifestyle changes I’ll have to make. I’m an auto tech and I own my own shop. I’ll have to get more creative and smart with how I work, because I never want to feel that pain ever again.

Is yours a disc surgery or fusion? The recovery is a lot quicker with disc surgery. Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly.

At 69 years old there was some disc deterioration. The main thing he did was to clean things up including a small bulge and opening up where the nerves go through which took care of the pinch. Leg pain is gone back is feeling good with exception of incision pain. I feel for you at 33, definitely work on working smarter not harder for both you and your families sake. Good luck

So far, so good. The piece they cut out was 30mm x 15mm x 10mm. They had to grind some bone off to reach it without hurting the nerve. Thanks.
