Has anyone had a Discectomy? How is the recovery period and what can you tell me about sucess rate? I am having it on lumbar 4-5. Thanks LG
I had a L4 L5 fusion Sept. 25 2006. I actually recovered pretty quick. I was walking the day after my surgery. I was doing lite house work about 2 weeks in. But it didn't alleviate all the pain, but I knew going into the surgery that there was a chance that it wouldn't be a cure all. I no longer have shooting pains down my legs and feet, unless I've really overdone it. But I do have pain in my back and am still in pain management.
Next Monday I have surgery on my cervical spine to try to fix the same problem in a different spot.
I hope your surgery goes well and you recover quickly. Im sure you will be in less pain than your in now. Just keep a good attitude and be slow to jump back into doing difficult things. No Vacuuming!
Good Luck
