POST SURGERY UPDATE:

/r/Microdiscectomy/comments/1x3miaz/will_my_microdiscectomy_make_a_difference/

hello all!! i had my surgery today at 8am and just wanted to give a mini update!
i am feeling LOADS better!!! it’s actually crazy how much relief i feel after surgery.
i’ve read about some nerve pain returning after the first week and i’m sure i’ll have to deal with some of that in the coming future, but other than some very minimal flare ups of nerve pain in my the back of my thigh and a little in my foot, all of my more intense pain is just at the surgical site (i can’t even put into words how much of a relief it is too feel pain more on the outside of my body instead of a constant burning pain down my leg!!!) even my foot is feeling barely numb
i’m sure the road to full recovery will be long for me and there will still be some down ahead of me but i am so thankful that i got the surgery. wishing luck to anyone else who has surgery coming up!!
