I am 12 days post op from an MD at L5-S1. I've been feeling great with very little pain. My calf strength returned after surgery and i was able to do a heel raise again, but still weak. I woke up this morning and my gait felt off again so i tried to do a heel raise but it wasn't feeling the same. I did it in front of the mirror to check and i'm barely getting it again just like before surgery. I know things can fluctuate a bit during heeling, but has anyone had the strength come and go? I don't see how that's possible unless some disc material was missed or I re-herniated. If I re-herniated it was completely silent because I still have no pain and I haven't so much as sneezed. Someone please tell me this is normal.
