I'm 2 weeks post surgery right now from an L4-L5 incision. If anyone else has had this surgery, how long did it take for you to start lifting again? By the way I feel now, I assume I'll be able to start lifting lightly within the next couple weeks.
I'm still pretty sore around the surgical site. I'm not able to fully bend down without some pain, but it is bearable. The main thing is the nerve pain is gone. Before the surgery, I couldn't bend or lift my leg up without a massive spike of pain in my lower back. I've just been taking it easy and I'm still taking 1 or 2 percocets a day.
Just curious as to the others that have had this surgery and your experiences.
