I truly enjoyed your videos. I wonder I should do one when surgery takes place👍

Exactly when we need the surgery we actually praise The Lord when surgery takes place that’s how bad it gets you are right 🎉 Walk in water slow that will suffice as exercise, control sugar intake

When we get injured out of nothing and herniate that easy we must pay attention to Instability of the spine

Nerves have memory. We take discomfort and no nerve compression. Make sure when fusion gets done in the future screws do not migrate to touch layers of spinal Cord.

I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT I HAD NO POST-OP PAIN..AND EVEN THOUGH I TOOK A PAINKILLER THE FIRST DAY IN. ANTICIPATION OF PAIN...IT NEVER CAME.....SORRY I DIDN'T DO THIS SOONER....UNNECESSARY SUFFERING FOR TOO MANY MONTHS.

Thank you for sharing your experience,I am glad that you’re feeling better, I got my 3 weeks ago and I’m feeling so much better, before my surgery my sciatica was killing me, and now I barely feel it. Best decision ever. Best wishes to you .

❤Thank you ...great video Love & prayers sister

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’m having surgery in a few days and I would love to connect to the Facebook group that you spoke of. Could you possibly share the name of the group? There’s so many and I would like to connect with one that is good and recommended. Thanks again 😊

I just one week after my laminectomy and discectomy on L4-L5. The doctor told me that it's gonna be a small incision with endoscopic procedure. Next I came out of the operating room 10:00 am feeling fine and I was able to walk one hour after the surgery. But around 5:00 pm all the anesthetics worn out start experiencing the worst pain I ever had. I requested pain killer, I got it immediately through IV help a lot but they have to repeat it every five hour until I totally past out. Anyway after the second night I was stable enough to go home. After six days I removed my bandage and I look at the incision and surprise that was a seven centimeter incision on my back nothing like they promise. I had a traditional incision no endoscopic surgery with a less than an inch incision. I felt disappointed now understood why did I had such excruciating pain on the night of the surgery. Obviously when you have that large incision our body experiencing more pain and more trauma. On the positive side my sciatic pain is ninety percent gone around the incision is still pain but manage without pain medication. I'm walking slowly every day. Doctor advise me to take it easy up to six weeks because that much time need for the disk to heal. I'm crossing fingers to get better and hopefully never ever have to go through such a pain.

Just hit one week post op for the same exact surgery at L4L5 and you are absolutely right the pain of the herniation is so much worse than the surgery

How long does or did it take for 100% of any numbness to disappear? I have surgery coming up soon and remain upset and confused why I can only walk in sandals. Upon any attempts to walk in gym shoes, the electric shock occurs on the palm of my left foot and ends at the left big toe. Have you regained full mobility of the affected leg? I want to be able to run again. For now, I'm doing a lot of physical therapy and it's helping. Please advise

Do you recall what the drug was that they injected young with to help with post-op pain?

Hi … my name is Jill I’m 52 .. have back issues for a while now… long story short I’ve seen 2 surgeons.. the first consult was either an orthopedic spine surgeon,, the 2nd was with a neurosurgeon. Basically both said that I need to have a laminectomy with a fusion at level 4/5. I also have faucet disease along with generative joint disease, as well as spondyolesis which means that I have a shift or spine instability with a 6 mm cyst pressing on my l5…… I don’t want the fusion because I would like to keep my mobility as I workout 6 days a week and don’t want to lose my mobility… I feel so scared… like u, I wonder if I “need the surgery” or thinking that my pain is tolerable enough. I have no one to talk to about this… not at all sure what to do at this point….😢

I’m day 3 post surgery (same as yours) I’m still very sore

I have way more impingements in my spine. Surgery soon. After 2 hip replacements I can handle it. Broken knee, hand and pelvis.

If I made it through 2 hip replacements I think I will be fine. I use a walker because I have no balance and impingements give you cramps in your feet and legs.

I am having a Laminectomy but nobody added the term you used with your disc. My nerves are compressed and being older than you, I 'm 59 its from years of hard work. I want to know the recovery time. I have a cat and dont want to go to a rehab center. I also broke my pelvis, knee and hand

Thank you for sharing. I will be going through this very soon after putting it off for over 5 years. Good Luck to you and to me!

love your personality, thus humor, and thank you much for making this video it's excellent, well done, appreciated.

I had gone through lamentomy and desectomy its been 2 months but my feet numbness is still there. Doctor said it will take upto 1 year to numbness to disappear. Does anyone have same experience?

I remember after spinal surgery I have spinal fusion from L3 to T11 it sucked getting up until I got my stitches out

I may need this procedure I have herniated discs and stenosis in my lumbar spine

Thank you so much. I have fairly good on-site into people, and I felt your pain so to speak. But I still don’t know if I will have to go through this same surgery, but, it is looking like it from what I have been reading on these TH-cam videos. But you and two other wonderful people have dedicated their time to describe their experience with the post surgery. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your time and history post surgery. Thank you, thank you. I am just 81 y/o so I do expect things to be somewhat different, but I think I will come out the other end with no regrets. Chet Marcotti

Thank you so much, I am 3 days post op laminectomy disectomy, tired to pick up blankets and I herd/ felt a click in my back dropped them immediately. No pain just spasm. I also seem to just push through, so listening and do it is difficult mentally. Thank you so much for the info, I appreciate it, blessings.

Thank you for the video about this one . My L 4 , L 5 and S1. I had the shots and they did not work . Now surgery is my last option. Thanks again.

Thank you for this information. It was so much help

I’m having surgery the 25th of January 2023. How did you use the restroom did you need a riser?

Thanks for posting. You just about touched on everything that has been on my mind after this surgery. And yes, after watching many many others on here, I’m feeling better about my recovery taking longer than I’ve screen others results. I had an L3 L4, L4 L5, L5 S1 laminectomy, and an L4 L5, L5 S1 fusions. At his has been my second surgery in a year on my back due to congenital stenosis compounded by heavy weight training over the years. My first surgery was laminectomies and fusions of T4 thru T8, which I faired much better for recovery times. I’m told that it being on the back of my ribs areas and their relative lack of flexibility he ultimate impact was less painful and complicated than my lumbar surgeries. I’m going to take it one week at a time, like you suggest. I’m at my 4 week mark now, and I’m just now letting up on my pain meds and muscle relaxers. I’d been compressed for years, and was told that due to such a long term compressions of my spine, it’s normal to ave “Angry Nerves”, which sounds similar to your experiences. When you used that term, I knew your surgeon had told you similarly as mine. But again, thanks for sharing your experience. I feel less worried about the pace of my recovery.

I had a discectomy at 16 on L3-L4 and L4-L5 from a trampoline accident. 16 years later I had a laminectomy on both again from a trampoline accedent. 10 years later and 2 weeks ago I had a laminectomy on L5-S1 due to spinal arthritis and stenosis. Delt with it for 6 months and it makes living no fun. If I was living 500 years I would probably be dead at 16 or committed suicide from the pain.

I am going through the same thing. Right now I can't even walk. My surgery is next week. thanks for putting this video up.

I'm on day 5 post op and This video help me lot because after surgery both of my legs get numbness it scare me lot that surgery gone wrong.this video and are a lifesaver.💪

Thank you so much for documenting this.this help me lot...hope you recovered 100% now.

What pain meds were you on? I’m taking 800 mg ibuprofen 3 times a day and it’s stopping me from getting steroids shots or surgery but when I don’t take ibuprofen my blood pressure shots up to 180/101 and I get shakes so bad and head banging and my heart rate went up to 150 with panic attacks

What medication did you take after getting off ibuprofen for 7 days until surgery?

I also have right butt, hip, knee and leg pain for years. I kept getting shuffled between a hip and spine doctor. With epidural and cortisone injections that didn't work. I finally found a 2nd opinion with a spine doctor who sees some pressure on the nerves from L5 disk. He wants to go in there and "scoop" it out to relieve the pain from what he sees on xrays. First step is to get a more recent MRI and inject me with epidural in that area to confirm this is where pain is coming from.

just seeing this so I notice this is 7 years old, but I am 2-1/2 weeks out from the same surgery you had and still suffering hip pain. You mentioned that on your first video so could you tell me how long your hip pain lasted? Thanks so much, and I hope you are doing well these days. OOps, I see you did talk about this.

Hey, I been following your videos and they been really helpful. Did you numbness ever go away after the first surgery and 2nd. I had surgery 9/16/22 and my main symptoms were numbness in my left foot. I wanted to see if you had any luck with the numbness getting better after surgery. Thanks.

Thank you very much. I'm gonna have this surgery December 1st 2022 I'm a little scared. I appreciate everything you said. I hope your feeling alot better and doing well.

Thank you for this , just had mine 2 weeks ago. And feeling same way

Hey there. I know it’s been a while since your surgery, but I can’t help but note you are wearing a brace. Did the doctor send you home with that?

Please tell me what Annie and flametories were you on My surgery is on ⅩⅩⅡ in 2 weeks

Possibly getting this later this year

Awesome video! I'm having a laminectomy in 2 months. Hope all is well!

Thank you so much for this uplifting, inspiring video. You brought tears to my eyes at the end of the video. I sincerely hope that 7 years on, you've continued to heal and recover and are living your healthy life with love with your family. I'm a 72-year-old woman with surgery scheduled for six weeks from now. Your recap is so encouraging, a no nonsense, down-to-earth telling. I'm going to ask my hubby to watch it. Thank you for this gift of hope!

Had my laminectomy and disectomy on January 19th 2021 had severe leg pain and couldn't walk much had bulged discs with extrusion and spinal stenosis narrowing of my spinal canal now leg pain is gone have some in my knee but leg is still going numb and now severe pain in low to mid back like my s.i joints.
