hey there. your PM quota is filled so I hope you don't mind me writting you here...
Hi there... I love reading your journal. I am 6 weeks post op as of this tuesday and was in the middle of training to do a figure comp. I am tracking your progress with mine and seeing if I am close to doing what you are doing at the same time...
clearly each person is different but I am wondering... I get little flutters up and down my thighs after cardio or walking, did you or do you?
I also still get some sciatic pain in the glutes and left leg as before, and my left foot still has some numbness and nerve issues.
my nerve issues were so bad, I was numb practically up to my chest and on both sides, down to feet. so compared to before I am great but still have issues. just wondering if you did or still do.
I had a laminectomy due to bilateral sciatica and spinal stenosis and a herniated disc. Would you to hear from you any time

Hey, sorry just getting to this (on a cross country trip right now).
As you noted, it's tough to compare our progress, given that our injuries were different and it seems like you had a lot worse nerve issues than me. I have an extruding disc and ended up having a microdiscectomy on both sides (main issues were w/ left side).
I had pretty bad nerve issues up and down my left leg pre-op, from the ankle to the left glute. My glute was the worst as I had a ton of muscle spasms.
Post-op my nerve issues are close to 100% gone. I get the occassional twinge in my left hammy/calf area if I move a specific way, but never from cardio or general activity. I had some minor nerve issues still evident in the weeks following my surgery, but those are long gone now. Did you have nerve damage? I didn't, which was very fortunate for me.
Hope that helps a bit. Have you spoken to your surgeon / back doc?
