Hi did you have. Surgery also like myself

[Hidden in reply to Tommyj1954]

Yes, 15 years ago I had two discectomies and a fusion with rods and screws.

[Tommyj1954 in reply to Hidden]

Ok i did not have fusion how long did it take you to feel"normal"again may i ask

[Hidden in reply to Tommyj1954]

After the discectomies, about 6-8 weeks. Good luck!

hi I remember your post after surgery and it looked really bruised and painful but this looks like it has healed well hopefully you will now be pain free.

Looks like you had open procedure like mine on 3.levels i did not have MISS do you feel weak ? I have to wear belt 3 months and wait 6 months for heavy lifting etc but ok no leg pain and am told by many Maybe 1.year before i feel "normal" day by day one person said 3 month mark is good gauge and another said it took about 6 months for numbness to go away and about 8.months to feel.normal

Scar looks good. I have one where they went in 3 times but it is hardly noticeable now a year after the last op.
