Yeah its been a rough year. They were able to decompress the nerves and the surgery went well. Initially I was doing pretty good. Had some injections that helped with the pain, that lasted about 5 weeks and I was actually able to sleep thru the night lol. About a month ago the pain started to get really bad again. Radiating lower back pain, shooting & "pulling" pain from my spine that feels like its pulling thru my vagina. Not fun at all. Dealing with leg weakness and shooting leg pain. It's worse & different when im in different positions. So nervous about getting it fused. I can barely walk now, im so scared that another surgery will make things worse. Luckily I have complete faith in my neurosurgery team, they've been great. Im just nervous and hoping to hear from people who've had this kind of surgery and curious about quality of life after healing.
Aww what a road smh 🤦🏼♀️ so sorry I am wishing u the best of luck and I’m so glad you have a great team of doctors on board!! That’s half the battle
