I have just had L5 discectomy surgery only 4 days ago my left leg is still really weak and I am still on a rollater to walk. My surgeon is against using crutches however the rollater makes it so very hard to get around has anyone got any advice. Also I have read that under no circumstances should i sit however noone has mentioned in hospital and i even slept in a recliner last night cause it didn't cause as much pain and is so much more comfy. Any replies would be much appreciated.
