Microdiscectomy Surgery

Pain.

Suffering.

Spasms.


This surgery was ****ing terrible.

They somehow scratched my eye pretty good too and it's been leaking all day.

I can't move without my back spasming. When it spasms, it made my pinched nerve pain go from like a 7 to 99.


Watching the game tonight is going to hurt, win or lose.

It's a long road to recovery brother. Take your time but commit to strengthening your core over time.

I'm having microdiscectomy on my lower back (L5 - S1) on Thursday. I've had constant lower back, hip, glute, and leg pain for four years. I got a steroid epidural about 3 months ago and it worked great for 6 weeks.

Has anyone had this done? Thoughts or expectations?

How did this go, Mamacita?
 
I'm 12 days out of surgery and I got to say, it's been a walk in the park other than the first few days - they were absolute hell.

I tried to return to work today, but they didn't accept my return to work doctor's note. They want it more detailed. Super frustrating.

When I had hip surgery last year they didn't need anything. I just took PTO. This time, I used PTO, but they required me to file for a leave of absence/short term disability, which if you ask me, is a joke. I think it pays like 50% or 60% of your wages as if your Bill's, house payment, etc don't stay the same price.


Hopefully they accept the doc's note I plan on getting tomorrow when I get the stitches out.

Good luck, man. Yeah that 60% (that's what it is where I work) doesn't cut it.
