I’m -1 week to L4/L5 laminectomy/discectomy procedure. I appreciate the insight into what I have to look forward to. Been dealing with disc herniation and resulting life altering pain for 8 months now. Ready to be on the road to recovery.
just take it hour by hour and day by day. Time seems so long when you’re in the middle of it but I am three years from that point and totally pain-free I’ve done a lot of walking in my recovery starting after just a few weeks out with my doctor said I could even just a quarter of a mile around a pond. I think you did more for my depression than I did for my healing but pain is a heavy drag on the mind. I believe walking was my best medication. I’ll be praying for you.
Oh my I was just feeling low and came upon your video. Experiencing similar symptoms and felt great so decided to walk but this set me back. Patience and God is the way forward. Hope you are better now. Thank you for sharing your experience very helpful and reassuring. 😊
yes, my back is doing very well but a pinched nerve in my neck and keeps me with numbness in my arm but through Christ I can do all things. Sometimes I think God has me as a minister of pain, but we were never promised you a Rose Garden in pain has a way of trying to drag every moment of your day down interfere, but we must raise it back up to gratitude, so I am praying for you. Always remember the sun is shining even through the cloudy days.
Great testimony during the last quarter of the video. Having patience is awesome. Being thankful is awesome. Best wishes in your recovery. I am at one year, four months since my surgery. I don't have and never had pain in the recovery process. I have nerve damage I am trying to work through however.
I am healed, my friend. My Father used the process for my healing, which I am grateful for because I learned so much from. I learned to slow down and think what I am going to do before I do it. pain is just pain and I understand a little piece of the suffering that my Savior paid for me on the cross. The best advice I can give is give yourself the gift of love and patience. Like like our Father does every day.
I can totally relate to everything that you are saying. I am on week 4 post op. I go back to work soon and am feeling very anxious...I have a desk job and sit for hours at end. I have hired a standing desk to help and going to invest in a new chair. But most of all I really appreciate what you were saying about your faith, and how I need to trust in God, that he is there and will help me through..I think I really needed to hear that today so thank you🙂
I’m at week three and have had very similar symptoms and experiences. The nerve pain down my leg into my left foot has been up and down and trying to balance the meds & understand how much walking & stretching is a challenge. Continue seek God first and keep the faith. Thank you for sharing it was reassuring and comforting to hear your testimony.
Week two on removal of extrusion of L2/L3 that had been compressed to 3 mm. Have been taking small walks with a Walker, usually have some pain at night. Am managing my pain with Tylenol and a muscle relaxer at night. Off the pain killers for three days now. I would like to be more active, but am pretty optimistic about recovering and maybe being able to go fishing next spring. Thank you for your share.
After my first surgery they had to immediately do another surgery on me. They left pieces inside and had to access the other side of my spine. I have a huge scar with 13 staples and I’m at my 3 week point but I’m in pretty bad pain as of today.. My pain is isolated to my back but it’s hard to walk and I don’t know why. I agree with you it’s mentally taxing on us because we can’t tell what happened. You might want to take some medication like muscle relaxers or gabapentin. Motrin isn’t helping me but I pray that I can go so work on Monday. I’m sending you lots of love on your recovery and I’m going through it myself. It’s not easy. God bless you.
my heart breaks for you and others like you, and me who have been brought to the edge of life and suffering. But I believe pain to have been the best teacher in my life like the suffering of my savior. I got a taste of what it was like and I understanding of what a gift it is to be without pain. Since my surgery it took me a year to get I believe full recovery . Now I have been pain-free in my lower back for a long time I get to experience round of pain this time in my upper spine which affects the nerve running down my arm. It was the most severe pain I've ever felt felt like a truck was parked on my arm. This time they are talking about more shots and surgery but as of now I'm doing what I can with TH-cam videos Learning exercises and stretching doing my own physical therapy. In the last two months my pain is gone from a 10 to 2 maybe a two if I move a certain way what I learned is nerves have a covering and when those coverings get damaged it's the most painful thing you'll ever feel, and it takes time to rebuild the coating around the nerve. All that to say is how grateful I truly am today because of my pain I have started a new job which is a humbling and gratifying thing. I would've never done on my own to help others through their pain and suffering, both mental and physical learning how to accept pain in my life as one of the many steps that keep me full of hope in the end and today I know it's hard to understand but pain is just pain so many other peoples will never understand that people like you and me can survive on high levels of pain, and still find love, compassion, and gratefulness. Our people that have truly learned to live do what you can to get moving. Ask yourself should I really lift that and accept yourself for the new person that you're becoming, and embrace your fate. We all have unique paths we follow in life. On the hard days. Just remember this will pass. And on the good days remember this will to pass. Learn to be grateful in both.
Im 2 days post op and my surgeon told me that my herniation was really bad. Je said he left a huge hole in my low back that would have to scar over. Ty for your updates and your testimony of your faith in Jesus. And where he has brought you from God bless!✝️✝️✝️
Thank you, I had it done too its a month for me, its very stressful, I'm a chef, been on my job for 34 years, always on my feet. I'm going for permanent disability. I can't do that job any more. And I'm still in pain. A long with therapy. God bless yoiuGod has you my friend🕊🕊🕊🙏
I learned a lot from being slow down from my surgery and my condition I guess sometimes God needs to slow us down to show us how faithful he is. Praying for you and your full recovery and may God walk with you through your new normal.
Thanks for sharing , I’m on day 14 after surgery. First 10 days were good no leg pain just soreness from the surgery. However being n my second week ahhh man sever intense pain down my left leg no back pain just left leg killing me
@@Sunil-wi4yw well returned to work on June 5th after being 7 weeks off, I stayed with a foot drop . Doc says give it time , it has gotten better tho . A full recovery is a 6 months to a year . Overall doing much better thank you 😎

Amen, I had the surgery 11 days ago, similar experience, the first week felt great just sore from the incision and surgery, and soon I began having similar nerve pain in the glute and down the leg again ( like pre-surgery pain) here at day 11 it's still there some, not bad but I do feel it and it makes one wonder, is my herniation back? I'm like you, I've walked daily, I've had some accidental leans, and I may have picked up more than 10 pounds once in the first week, those few mishaps and the familiar pain give you a false sense of healing... But as you said Trust the Lord and do the thing you know you must do to heal properly
Just completed 3 weeks post surgery and am having the worst hip and leg pain again. Felt great the last two weeks but here we are now. Really feeling disappointed and nervous this won’t go away.
@@ford351cleveland I’m so sorry too hear that you are still having pain. I ended up needing a spinal fusion shortly after posting this. It was the worst mistake of my life. Took the pain away, replaced it with numbness, electric shocks, burning, and extreme pain in the foot, back, and hip. I am no longer able to work. I truly hope your pain goes away and you feel better soon!
@@wildinourways I am really sorry to hear this can your situation get better with time ? And how far a long herniated (how much) was your disk before you had to do surgery?
@@ford351cleveland I hope it will! They are doing more tests in a few weeks on my nerves too see. Originally my herniated disc L5-S1 was not herniated by much. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the measurements. It just happened to be herniated directly on a nerve. Second herniation was much more significant. All together it was about 4 months before I received the first surgery.
@@wildinourways I hope you get so good results back mate. My mother had a spinalfuseing done on s1 l5 and l4 and was in bed for 3 month and now she is perfect not pain whatsoever. If you don't kind me asking How do you think you re herniated your disk ? Working or not recovering properly
Iam in my 4th week of surgery and i can 100% relate myself to the guy in video but the secret is patience coz the old previous symptoms will take time to go away...
I’m at 4 weeks post L5-S1 Microdiscectomy. Did you sustain back spasms during your recovery? I get them sporadically, whether I’m walking, sitting, or showering. It makes me not want to do anything.
two years later, and most of my problems have gone. I still have to be careful at how many pounds I left not a young man anymore lol praying for your recovery.
The surgeon really didn't explained anything to me, showed me the MRI on a laptop, and where my injury is...L4&L5 after 4 yrs of trying phy therapy, chiropractors etc except no injections...in the last 3 months the pain progressed from the buttock, down my leg to my foot it's extremely painful hard to live with , that's why I seeked surgery. Waiting on insurance approval for the surgery but after hearing these testimonials I'm really having second thoughts :( the last thing I need more and worst pain that I already have, the surgeon had the nurse give me pamphlets and I guess that's supposed to prepared me vs him explaining the prons and cons.
I was worried too about getting worse mad now my pain is mostly gone. Glad I did the surgery but yes, there are no guarantees. I just knew that it was getting too hard to live the way I was going. Good luck with your decision.
Black is doing amazing it's strange to be out of the pain that crippled me so much. I'm one of the lucky ones blessed by God to have my pain removed. Well at least mostly I am getting older and there's always other pains :-)
@@joseestupinan4484 Wow. You are blessed. I am now in to 4 months of severe sciatica and spasms. I can only move around inside my home with twisted hip and slouched back and tilted to one side. Do you think surgery is best, given i am in 4th month of this disability and did you have the same symptoms as mine?
@@joseestupinan4484 I'm 10 months in of back pain. I found out I have a disc buldge at L5 s1 I've tried physical therapy, chiropractor, decompression exercises, deep tissue massages, medicine, etc nothing helps.

I have back pain on my left side when I sit not when I walk or stand I have no leg pain (Sciatica). Has your pain went all the way away after surgery?
@@freestylebully4849 hi! Yes, after OP the pain on both, sciatica and back were gone the same day of OP (I was able to walk the same day). After 4 months I did a big mistake of taking a long 10 hour flight without taking correct posture, and I re-herniated. OP will really help you but you must be really careful afterwards. After re-herniated, my sciatica pain came back worst….but my doc gave me an steroid injection and after 3 months I am really well (started to running, swimming again). Also, I know it may sound strange but 2 months ago I started to see a psychologist and found out that I am in lot of anger inside my mind (my recent parents dead), my divorce, and many etc. Some how doing brain therapy has help me with my whole recovery. Best of luck!
They don't tell you there is a 40%-50% failure rate for this surgery. 1 week after surgery shit went downhill and 10 months after I'm worse off than I was before surgery. Good luck to most of you but don't think surgery is a guarantee you'll be better and it should be a last resort so look at alternatives to surgery before you go under the knife. They put me on lyrica and it sucks... Buyer beware
sorry, I didn't see your message till now. A lot of the body shock from surgery takes time but for me they're completely gone. Praying the same for you.
healed. I don't have any of the problems that brought me to surgery. i'm very grateful at night. I don't have to toss and turn because I feel like I'm sitting on a raw nerve or waking up with so much pain. I don't know how I'm gonna manage the day even though I am 55 I do manage other nerve pains, like one in my upper neck that travels down my arm, which felt like a truck was parked on it that one took a few months, but healed on its own . I do credit the years of pain has been a wonderful learning opportunity. It helps me to manage the smaller paints that I get today and not let it stop me, but continue to go through my day sometime, embracing the suck and learning how to be grateful that I am not in a worse position, those that suffer parts that don't work or constant severe pain every day. few things that I carry with me every day is to embrace your fate. Stay grateful for what you have, and not focusing on what you don't.
@getmoving1090 great to know it healed, how long would you say you need to allow for healing? I've ready anything up to a year. I had the op around 10 days ago. First few days I was pain free, then after the drugs wore off I felt some nerve pain around the buttock. I had a follow up and was told this is normal and I will need to allow time for the nerve to heal now. I was told to start physio and continue on the medicine for now. The difference is the medicine actually works now, prior to the surgery nothing would help reduce the pain except for ice which would help a bit. I am getting to sleep at night which I couldn't before for last 6 months. I am so grateful to God for being able to walk again and my mindset is stronger than ever to get back to normal life one day.
@@boxmanic I started walking pretty quickly even if I could only walk for 1/ fourth or a half of a mile. I usually would pick small park with the lake. It would help to lift my spirits believe it took me about two months before I actually felt like a kid do some more stuff like I would volunteer at a kitchen at a homeless shelter, really helped to get me out of my head and out of my house. Most people can return to their desk jobs after a couple of months and my case it was between two or three, but I was more maintenance so more physical. There was still ups and downs and even sometimes I had to back away from work for a while, and I also had to really learn how to anticipate how much something weighed before I attempted to lift it, and I gave myself strict boundaries of things I would, but I was much stronger after six months, but I really don't feel like I gained my full strength back, or my confidence of full strength Somewhere around a a year but after two years, I was still careful with my back but I didn't have any more problems that wasn't contributed to just age. Today I'm rebuilding a retaining wall with 50 pound blocks and a lot of shoveling always have this fear in the back of my mind, but I just take it easy and keep moving forward, always afraid my back is just gonna tweak and go out. But at 55 it's nice to let my muscles get strong from a long winter doing some dirt work and still gaining more confidence than my back is healed. Praise God.
@getmoving1090 walking has not been an issue for me, I am walking loads and I was able to start working after a few days. I bought a stand up desk at home to allow me to stand and work. I also respond to emails etc from my phone while I am laying in bed. The only concern for me was the nerve pain came back but I was told this is just the nerve healing and I need to give it time. The difference now is that the medications I am taking actually work and take away the pain. Prior to surgery the pain never went away. I kept the compression socks on for the first week and been wearing a back brace ever since. I was told to wear that for a month My strength felt good within few days but I am being patient knowing that rushing things may cause more harm. My surgery was laser which is supposed to be more accurate and faster recovery than the traditional method of microdisectomy. The incision was also very small and healed very quickly.
@@getmoving1090 I'm now one month after L4/L5 Laminectomy. I'm just resting and walking 5 minutes every two hours. I used to lift weights this is why my body is still strong being able to do anything on my own but even after a month, I'm still having the same old pain which is type of squeezing pressure inside my lower back feeling like someone is rolling tight wrap around you which gives a feeling of terror as if you're dying. I'm not sure if this will go away with time but ibuprofen, muscle relaxers all do not work. The only thing that gives a small relief is laying down on my left side with a pillow in between my legs
Microdiscectomy is a breeze! Eventually you will most likely need to replace that disc or get a fusion. That surgery can take a year or two or never to recover from.

@@ford351cleveland I hope it will! They are doing more tests in a few weeks on my nerves too see. Originally my herniated disc L5-S1 was not herniated by much. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the measurements. It just happened to be herniated directly on a nerve. Second herniation was much more significant. All together it was about 4 months before I received the first surgery.
@@wildinourways I hope you get so good results back mate. My mother had a spinalfuseing done on s1 l5 and l4 and was in bed for 3 month and now she is perfect not pain whatsoever.
If you don't kind me asking How do you think you re herniated your disk ? Working or not recovering properly
How you feeling one year later ?
Iam in my 4th week of surgery and i can 100% relate myself to the guy in video but the secret is patience coz the old previous symptoms will take time to go away...
I think recovery time is more in the two-year range today I don't have many issues. Praying for your recovery.
How are u doing now?
I’m at 4 weeks post L5-S1 Microdiscectomy. Did you sustain back spasms during your recovery?
I get them sporadically, whether I’m walking, sitting, or showering. It makes me not want to do anything.
two years later, and most of my problems have gone. I still have to be careful at how many pounds I left not a young man anymore lol praying for your recovery.
The surgeon really didn't explained anything to me, showed me the MRI on a laptop, and where my injury is...L4&L5 after 4 yrs of trying phy therapy, chiropractors etc except no injections...in the last 3 months the pain progressed from the buttock, down my leg to my foot it's extremely painful hard to live with , that's why I seeked surgery. Waiting on insurance approval for the surgery but after hearing these testimonials I'm really having second thoughts :( the last thing I need more and worst pain that I already have, the surgeon had the nurse give me pamphlets and I guess that's supposed to prepared me vs him explaining the prons and cons.
I was worried too about getting worse mad now my pain is mostly gone. Glad I did the surgery but yes, there are no guarantees. I just knew that it was getting too hard to live the way I was going. Good luck with your decision.
Update?
I would like an update. 👍🏼
Black is doing amazing it's strange to be out of the pain that crippled me so much. I'm one of the lucky ones blessed by God to have my pain removed. Well at least mostly I am getting older and there's always other pains :-)
Amen
3 and a half month since my neck surgery the pain on my back neck still.
It took me two years to fully recover, so hang in there
Thank you for your video. I am myself in my 3rd week after M.
How are you doing now?
How are you now bro?
@@Sunil-wi4yw just great! Already swimming, cycling and running (slow thought). I got my life back!
@@joseestupinan4484 Wow. You are blessed. I am now in to 4 months of severe sciatica and spasms. I can only move around inside my home with twisted hip and slouched back and tilted to one side. Do you think surgery is best, given i am in 4th month of this disability and did you have the same symptoms as mine?
@@joseestupinan4484 I'm 10 months in of back pain. I found out I have a disc buldge at L5 s1 I've tried physical therapy, chiropractor, decompression exercises, deep tissue massages, medicine, etc nothing helps. I'm scheduled tuesday night for a steroid injection. My doc said if it helps with the pain surgery will help the pain go away. I have back pain on my left side when I sit not when I walk or stand I have no leg pain (Sciatica). Has your pain went all the way away after surgery?
@@freestylebully4849 hi! Yes, after OP the pain on both, sciatica and back were gone the same day of OP (I was able to walk the same day). After 4 months I did a big mistake of taking a long 10 hour flight without taking correct posture, and I re-herniated. OP will really help you but you must be really careful afterwards. After re-herniated, my sciatica pain came back worst….but my doc gave me an steroid injection and after 3 months I am really well (started to running, swimming again). Also, I know it may sound strange but 2 months ago I started to see a psychologist and found out that I am in lot of anger inside my mind (my recent parents dead), my divorce, and many etc. Some how doing brain therapy has help me with my whole recovery. Best of luck!
They don't tell you there is a 40%-50% failure rate for this surgery. 1 week after surgery shit went downhill and 10 months after I'm worse off than I was before surgery. Good luck to most of you but don't think surgery is a guarantee you'll be better and it should be a last resort so look at alternatives to surgery before you go under the knife. They put me on lyrica and it sucks... Buyer beware
It is so hard to handle pain just stay grateful never know who God will place in your path that will need their spirits lifted
5 weeks after the surgery. Radiating pain through both legs in and out. Terrible. I didn't expect.
sorry, I didn't see your message till now. A lot of the body shock from surgery takes time but for me they're completely gone. Praying the same for you.
How are you now?
healed. I don't have any of the problems that brought me to surgery. i'm very grateful at night. I don't have to toss and turn because I feel like I'm sitting on a raw nerve or waking up with so much pain. I don't know how I'm gonna manage the day even though I am 55 I do manage other nerve pains, like one in my upper neck that travels down my arm, which felt like a truck was parked on it that one took a few months, but healed on its own . I do credit the years of pain has been a wonderful learning opportunity. It helps me to manage the smaller paints that I get today and not let it stop me, but continue to go through my day sometime, embracing the suck and learning how to be grateful that I am not in a worse position, those that suffer parts that don't work or constant severe pain every day. few things that I carry with me every day is to embrace your fate. Stay grateful for what you have, and not focusing on what you don't.
@getmoving1090 great to know it healed, how long would you say you need to allow for healing? I've ready anything up to a year.
I had the op around 10 days ago. First few days I was pain free, then after the drugs wore off I felt some nerve pain around the buttock. I had a follow up and was told this is normal and I will need to allow time for the nerve to heal now. I was told to start physio and continue on the medicine for now. The difference is the medicine actually works now, prior to the surgery nothing would help reduce the pain except for ice which would help a bit.
I am getting to sleep at night which I couldn't before for last 6 months. I am so grateful to God for being able to walk again and my mindset is stronger than ever to get back to normal life one day.
@@boxmanic I started walking pretty quickly even if I could only walk for 1/ fourth or a half of a mile. I usually would pick small park with the lake. It would help to lift my spirits believe it took me about two months before I actually felt like a kid do some more stuff like I would volunteer at a kitchen at a homeless shelter, really helped to get me out of my head and out of my house. Most people can return to their desk jobs after a couple of months and my case it was between two or three, but I was more maintenance so more physical. There was still ups and downs and even sometimes I had to back away from work for a while, and I also had to really learn how to anticipate how much something weighed before I attempted to lift it, and I gave myself strict boundaries of things I would, but I was much stronger after six months, but I really don't feel like I gained my full strength back, or my confidence of full strength Somewhere around a a year but after two years, I was still careful with my back but I didn't have any more problems that wasn't contributed to just age. Today I'm rebuilding a retaining wall with 50 pound blocks and a lot of shoveling always have this fear in the back of my mind, but I just take it easy and keep moving forward, always afraid my back is just gonna tweak and go out. But at 55 it's nice to let my muscles get strong from a long winter doing some dirt work and still gaining more confidence than my back is healed. Praise God.
@getmoving1090 walking has not been an issue for me, I am walking loads and I was able to start working after a few days. I bought a stand up desk at home to allow me to stand and work. I also respond to emails etc from my phone while I am laying in bed.
The only concern for me was the nerve pain came back but I was told this is just the nerve healing and I need to give it time. The difference now is that the medications I am taking actually work and take away the pain. Prior to surgery the pain never went away.
I kept the compression socks on for the first week and been wearing a back brace ever since. I was told to wear that for a month
My strength felt good within few days but I am being patient knowing that rushing things may cause more harm.
My surgery was laser which is supposed to be more accurate and faster recovery than the traditional method of microdisectomy. The incision was also very small and healed very quickly.
All of them are unclear and they just roll you out to their young inexperienced PA's
Yes, you can be a very frustrating process
@@getmoving1090 I'm now one month after L4/L5 Laminectomy. I'm just resting and walking 5 minutes every two hours. I used to lift weights this is why my body is still strong being able to do anything on my own but even after a month, I'm still having the same old pain which is type of squeezing pressure inside my lower back feeling like someone is rolling tight wrap around you which gives a feeling of terror as if you're dying. I'm not sure if this will go away with time but ibuprofen, muscle relaxers all do not work. The only thing that gives a small relief is laying down on my left side with a pillow in between my legs
@@getmoving1090 I hope you're good now after many years
Back surgery is a scam only made me worse
I'm sorry I didn't work for you, but it worked for me maybe not a scam but certainly an perfect process
Microdiscectomy is a breeze! Eventually you will most likely need to replace that disc or get a fusion. That surgery can take a year or two or never to recover from.
It's been three years don't know about a breeze haven't had any other surgeries. As of this point pain free, and no more problems besides age lol.
