I am bummed after all my hard work of getting leaner recently because it will all be gone because I had to have emergency back surgery.
I had a L4 and L5 herniated disk, bunch of bone frags. surgeon cleaned that out after fixing the herniations and supposedly added some new material. Whatever that means?
I also had a nerve that had become stuck in the wrong space so she had to un-attach it, it leaked, she put a suture in it to close then another to keep it where it was supposed to go. I was told 5 years ago I’d need back surgery someday. Well this past Saturday was it.
What started the whole thing is I simply reached over and extended myself to move a speaker phone closer so I could hear a meeting better. Felt a pop and was down hill since. Went to urgent care twice for pain meds by Friday I was admitted after an MRI.
Surgeon said it was pretty bad repair a 7 out of 10 for all she had to do. But recovery is supposed to be 4-6 weeks. Start home therapy tomm. Hurts pretty bad but just got home yesterday.
Any experience with this from the forum?
