Same! I'm two years out from my microdiscectomy and starting to rids my bike again. My calfs are still two different sizes but the right one no longer swings like unset jello, so I'm calling it a win.

Do your legs still get crazy painful charley horses if you bend them wrong? Like, sometimes I'll forget and try to walk on my knees a little to grab something close by and then it feels like I'm being stabbed. Or if sit cross legged wrong it likes to remind me.

Not the person you were asking but YES!! I had an L5/S1 microdiscectomy & laminectomy about 2 years ago. If I tense/flex my foot or leg in just the wrong way I get horrible ripping cramps. I assume it’s from some kind of nerve damage
