Thanks Dr Srivastava,
I can actually move around a bit now.. but I am still having severe leg pain (nerve pain)
I am going back to the Neuro-Surgeon next Wednesday so I will ask him what more needs to be done then.
I will say that I am shocked that I wasn't made aware of the intense recovery time that this procedure takes to get over.. I was told that this was a minimally invasive procedure and should be back to 100% very fast.. that was not at all the truth. If I have to have this done ever again I am going to request in-patient to be honest.. I don't think I should have even been at home that first day or 2 because of the intense pain and the fact that I was completely helpless during that time.. I couldn't even get out of bed by myself the first day.
I don't how long you had pain before you had surgery, but it makes a difference. If you had a nerve that was being pinched, it takes time for it to heal. I think you need to give it a little more time.
I don't know that much about these micro- disectomy surgeries, I had a traditional open back procedure and I could barely walk 4 days after surgery. Just give it a little more time.
Take Care
