Diane's recovery - Endoscopic Discectomy, July 2007

[mmglobal]

Many of you have followed Diane's story... now in it's fifth month. The early story is posted in this thread: Extrusion from one level to another

I've just posted her patient story on the GPN website. I'm still working on the slideshow, but that will be done in a day or two.

At 6 weeks, she's doing great. Still some residual leg symptoms and weakness, but all very minor. She still protects her back and I'm glad that she does not have to return to work immediately... while endoscopic is minimally invasive... it's still spine surgery. She is improving weekly and sustains a relatively high activity level, but still is not up to heavy work or athletics.

More later. All the best,

Mark
