How severe would you rate the pain from the operations itself? I am having a microdisctectomy tomorrow.

[videobones]

@zer0ed77 nothing like as bad as before the op

[videobones]

Just a quick update,Two years later and on the hole i would say i'm 99%, i still get mild pain in my right hip and leg from time to time but nothing compared to the pain i had before.The best advise i can give is keep up the physio and exercise it really helps!

[squarer69]

@videobones. Thank u very much, yes that does help. Thank your. How long was it until u were up and about again? My consultant said it would be 3 weeks.

[videobones]

@squarer69 yeah it was about that, i was a bit sore for 2 weeks but not as bad as before the op,you have to go steady for quite a few weeks as not to pull the wound to much. i think i had 2 weeks of work, depends what you do? no heavy lifting for 6 to 8 weeks i think.

[squarer69]

I've just been put on a waiting list today for the op. For some reason I didn't really ask many questions :o( do they put u to sleep? And do u have to stay in hospital

Or is it just a day thing? I've been stuck in the house most of the time since October, am a little frightened about the op but I will be so glad to get back to worm and get my life back. And get well soon to any one who is going through it. Xx

@squarer69 hi there, i stayed in over night, they did it late afternoon and they put me to sleep,home by lunch time next day,hope this helps and good luck.

*Update on my surgery* It's been 7 weeks since I got cut. Back pain is 95% gone, leg pain was 100% gone within 4 days :-) My foot and calf muscle went numb for about a week and a haf and that scared the sh&t out of me! But all is well now though...back to work now and focusing on getting my core and back muscles strong again....it was a rocky ride out of surgery, and at times I cursed myself out for going through with it lol But the outcome was terrific....so those who might be having doubts ju

i had the same surgey. the a pain before was the worse ive ever had. and ive had alot of things happen. i got tossed off my horse and the bull that made her scared got me. but after the surgey it hurt but not near as bad as before. i had to take three months of from the ranch. or so they said. lol but i could go back to truck driving in 2 weeks. but all in all the whole thing realy sucked.

I'm having an op for my L5- s1 on Nov 8th....in high school I "dead lifted" in the weight room the wrong way and snap! There my disc went! Unfortunately I thought I only sprained my hammy so I just laid off of it a while. Every year after that it just got gradually worse until last year i FINALLY got an mri and seen what REALLY happened. So, excruciating pain/numbness/tingling down my left for almost 11yrs...seeing how you've recovered pretty good gives me some hope though :)

@jwestglass That's a load of shit! Folks, look it up. That's a last resort and an alternative to fusion.

@videobones - what kind of physio and exercises did you do and how long after the operation did you begin them? I just got my L5, S1 operated on for same reasons as you a week ago.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I have this problem with l5/s1, doctor suggested microdiskectomy.

Well, the videos on youtube about drx9000 seem to claim a lot, wondering if it is worth a try.

[liibaan1990]

Help me guys....is there any other solution to fix the pain without surgery??
