  • i just had this surgery for a herniated disc measuring 20mm from a fall. its been a slow painful recovery. i'm 2 months from surgery and have numbness on my left buttox, left side of my penis is numb, and still pain shooting into my heel. just a little more flexible on the leg thats it. the dr. said it takes 6 months for numbness to go away. i would like to know if this guy had knumbness.

  • im glad to hear you recovered well. so, how long did it take you to completely heal. Im about to go thru that as well and im just a little scared to think about it coz the videos are so graphic. :)

  • I am 14 and about to have this operation and i am always playing golf, in golf tournaments. My operation is tomarrow and i was just wondering what other peoples stories were and i hope mine turns out like yours.... 100% sucessful
