Having a rough day. I've been trying to take it easy and felt I was getting a little better, then woke up today and feel I took a step back. Trying not to get frustrated, but it's hard. Don't...
Yes, well Her birthday is Sunday so we are celebrating then and also having her party after thanksgiving. There is much to me thankful for!! Well I guess I'm gonna take it easy for another week and...
Do you think it could take 2 weeks for this to heal And calm down?...
That's great! Glad you are more comfortable. Praying I have the same results even though my belly will be growing bigger and more stress on my back. Thanks for your help!...
Hi! Thanks for your reply. I may try to find some foot inserts at the store to see if that helps a little. I am currently just using ice and it feels good, but once I get off it and I'm still cold...
Hi Abilene! Good to hear from you. Thank you for your insight. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around how this healing process works. Kinda stinks actually that it can't be determined. I'm a...
Hey everyone! Needing a little encouragement today. I've been quite consistent doing my PT exercises at home (maybe taking one day off a week or so) and it seems like the past few days my back has...
Thank you Dixie6!!! Have you had back surgery before? What's your story?...
Thank you!! Excited and nervous. It's in the Lords hands and I'm trusting it's all gonna be ok and that the next few months will really show improvement and all. Wish it didn't take so long!! Thought...
Hi Abilene!! Thanks for checking in. I'm feeling ok. Can't tell too much of a difference froma month ago. But now I have exciting news. I'm pregnant. Little nervous about it, but my doctors are ok...
Sorry your sciatic has been flaring up. My soreness doesn't feel so much like soft tissue but like a bone type aching. But I don't know. I guess I didn't expect light walking would do that to me....
Ok question. So I'm 7.5 months out from surgery and I went for a walk the other day. Nothing intense or uphill. I walked for about 20 min and the next day and today my hips toward the middle of lower...
Calling all you sciatic patients......I haven't done anything different the past week or so, but the last few days it's been super achy and tight. Can it become more achy when it's in a "super"...
Oh ok Abilene. Thanks! Today was a rough achy day. I'm so ready to feel consistency. Praying and hoping I'll see a huge improvement in the next four weeks!! It's mainly just my nerve that bothers me....
Thanks Abilene. Yea it definitely is hard bc I want to know what's going on and for things to just get better and better each day!! When did you start to feel pretty good consistently? Did you have...
Hi everyone. Just looking for a little encouragement. Had some pretty good feeling days last week and then this past weekend and today my sciatic is really aching. I've been faithful to do my...
Oh ok. Thanks :)...
Hi Susie, Thanks. I thought the weather could possibly affect what I feel like in my body but I wasn't sure. Do you know why you can ache more and your sciatic ache more on those type of days? It's...
Hi everyone. Do you ache/hurt more on rainy/overcast days?...
Merrida- thanks! I wish I truly understood what your body withstands from a surgery like this. I feel like it's been a roller coaster with how my body feels. Not a huge up and down roller coaster,...
Yes, I have exercises I do at home. I finished PT over a month ago and have stuff I've been doing at home. If it is spasms , it doesn't feel anything like a spasm. Is it common for discomfort to move...
Straydog- thank you for the advice. Yea, it definitely seems to waiver a lot. It feels good after I do my PT bc everything is loose and all but no one can walk around doing PT all day! Lol. I will...
Hi everyone! A little frustrated today and looking for some encouragement. Took my daughter to a birthday party yesterday and we were there for 3 hours. I didn't do a whole lot, but woke up this...
Merrida- thanks for your response. I was surprised I wasn't RX PT too but I ended up doing it anyway and I loved my therapist. She really helped Me and I'm continuing to do my exercises. I definitely...
I've talked to them about it. I'm gonna try to wait it out a little longer and see how it's feeling then. They said it's just gonna take time for the nerve to calm down and heal. I'd rather not take...
I agree. I had one of the top neurosurgeons so my surgery. He did surgery on my grandmother and everyone we spoke with recommended him. He invented some procedure that doctors now use so that was the...
Hi straydog- thank you for your response. I was surprised I wasn't required to do PT, but I think since I'm 31 with no other spinal issues etc my doctor didn't feel I needed PT. It's hard for me To...
Hi. This is my first post and I'm hoping I can get some good insight. I'm gonna try to make this as concise as possible, but basically I had a L5S1 microdiscectomy and bone fusion using a cadaver...
