Its been 7 weeks since the surgery.
I am doing very well. There is no pain to speak of in my back. I am more flexible then before surgery *even though* there is a fusion in my back. I am sill relearning new posture. Sitting I can tell things are different down there especially sitting in cars. The leg pain has steadily improved to were it is very low now. The strengh in my left leg is improving. What I am still struggling with is lots of fizzle and sizzle and buzzing in my feet. When I angle my legs, like sitting, folding my legs in bed etc it causes buzzing in my feet. After having been on my feet a while and then lying down there is a lot of spasms in my left leg. Toes twitch. My right foot still goes cronically cold. This starts as soon as I get on my feet and take a while to go away when I lie down. Warming the foot up once lying down will speed up the "recovery a little" Hope this goes away one day. Anyone have this kind of thing?
Iboprofen sometimes, thats it for meds. I am so glad I a not on anything else. My back feels great! I really have to make sure I dont overdo it as it feels that good.
