I (23F) had a L5S1 Laminectomy for a calcified disc bulge that caused cuad equina syndrome in march 2026. I’m in a happy relationship and we’re getting married next year, do I have any hope of starting a family? I’m terrified of hurting my back, or losing the feeling waist down again…I’ve always dreamed of being a mother and this along with a Sjogrens diagnosis and the thought of passing anything down, congenital heart block etc makes it feel like it will stay a dream. Of course I will wait more time until I’m more healed and I know you guys aren’t medical professionals, just looking for input and advice.
