waveoff5500 0 #5 March 12, 2011 hey guys thanks for the wishes! im not out of the hospital and recovering at home. it was a bit calcified when they got to the disk so it took a bit longer than they anticipated, but im all stitched up and m leg pain seems to be gone, a little intermittent pain but nothing like it was. sore back where the incision is but thats to be expected, im glad its finally over though!"its just a normal day at the dropzone until its not" 1653 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PiLFy 3 #8 March 13, 2011 That's great that the leg pain is gone. I've heard Patients complain of lingering pain for several weeks post-op from swelling. Sitting on your ass w/o pain is pretty cool, too. A speedy recovery to you. Follow your PT regimen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waveoff5500 0 #9 March 15, 2011 yeah, my pain has returned a little bit, but i talked to the nurse and she said that its pretty normal to have those days and that if it continues to give her a call and they would give me a steroid pack to calm it down a bit. but the nerve takes time to heal and that is normal apparently. thanks for all the support guys! ive just been through a lot haha"its just a normal day at the dropzone until its not" 1653 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
