Got my MD 8 hours ago.
I am so happy and thrilled what this surgery gave back to me & in such quick time. Reading these posts got me so nervous but i feel amazing right after surgery. knocking on wood but i have no more sciatic pain and the back pain is sore but nothing like that sciatic pain and I AM ABLE TO WALK STRAIGHT. for the past 2.5 months of dealing with this my walk was getting worse and worse to the point i was walking with my back at a 45 degree angle and i am walking close to 100 percent normal. I can’t believe what a wildly successful surgery this feels like thus far and im very hopefully in my recovery i dont even think im going to need PT. for a back story i had a 22mm disc expulsion back in February which my dr said was the biggest he pulled out of a patient the past couple of months lol. He does a lot of these surgeries and definetly the man to go to if you live in rhode island or surrounding states. I’ll keep people posted since it’s been a pretty early post but i am feeling so relieved and hopeful. Best of luck to everyone who is getting one and i hope you find the relief you need. i just can’t believe how much better i am.
