- Hi Everyone,
It's been 2 weeks since my microdiscectomy on my L4 L5 so thought it would be a good time to update!
I'd love to hear how other people felt at this stage post op so please do comment and let me know.
Thanks and lots of love xx
Just had my l5s1 done a 8 days ago. I feel amazing already. I know there will be days to come where I will hurt but already best decision I’ve ever made.
Vero Harris degenerated disc and herniated.
@Veronica I'm 10 months in of back pain. I found out I have a disc buldge at L5 s1 I've tried physical therapy, chiropractor, decompression exercises, deep tissue massages, medicine, etc nothing helps. I'm scheduled tommorrow for a steroid injection. My doc said if it helps with the pain surgery will help the pain go away. I have back pain on my left side when I sit not when I walk or stand. Has your pain went all the way away after surgery?

Day 8 of my laminectomy/discectomy. Back is still sore as to be expected. But my thigh and calf is always on fire. I started searching for these videos just to see if other ppl had the same problem.
Glad to hear im not the only one who worries lol. Hope everything has healed up greatly!
god bless
How are you now?
@@Sunil-wi4yw after about a month or so I was perfectly fine, I was slow jogging after 2 months. Could bend ect. I was cleared to weight lift ect. I unfortunately went to a chiropractor for my neck and ribs after 6 months of recovery (told them about my back ect) they wasn't supposed to touch it. But they did and it popped my disc back out instantly..so today I unfortunately still suffer from now multiple herniated disc. And the sourgen doesn't feel I'm fit for another surgery at this time..
But the surgery did work and was a blessing while it lasted before my chiropractor visit.
I hope all is well for you!
@@coachbulldog4917 Thanks for your kind reply. Sorry for the chrio thing, i cant believe it. :-(. I am still not been able to walk for more than 15 mins and sore back and spams and tightness for 4 months now. I am doing few therpies which are helping may by 30% but need full recovery. My life sucks and i am not happy. God will make a way soon!
I’m 3 days post and had worse pain in day 1 down my leg then before surgery! Def a let down as I read many people are pain free immediately! How are you doing now?
@angeyates I unfortunately rebulged my disc at the L4L5 about 7 months after the surgery.. they wouldn't do another one right now doing PT with little change.
I will say it helped amazingly after a couple months. I was even running again for a short time.
Give it time be careful and I hope you soon get to feel back to being a normal person again!,
God bless
I just had discectomy, laminectomy and bone spurs removed from l5, l4 and l3. The pain radiating down my buttocks is better, but now I have pain in my groin. I had a discectomy on l5-s1 about 20 years ago. I did well from that but the past two years , I have fallen multiple times and herniated the two discs above as well as the l5 again. Only been a week so hoping it gets better. Good luck and happy healings to all going through this.
Jauernic, How are you now?
I’m 2 weeks post surgery as well. And I’m happy I went through with it. A little bit tight in the lower back, but overall sciatic pain in my left lower back and leg is gone after 2 years of putting up with the pain and the worry. I feel for everybody going through this condition, and if your having doubts about surgery from my experience I really think it was worth it.
Paulo Auelua 100% agree. Best thing I ever did! Like you . I am 2 weeks post surgery and can’t believe how well I feel. Just a little but of tightness in the lumbar area. But nothing near the pain . That I was used to . I would advise anyone pondering wether to have it done ur not. To go for it.
what is the status on your post surgery? it has been like 1 year now... can you now run and jog and dance and jump?
Did your spasm heal? Are you able to move freely?
@@elizabethwhite2033 Did your spasm heal? Are you able to move freely?
@@Sunil-wi4yw So sorry for late reply! Just noticed this. I am now 2 years post surgery Sumi. At first everything was amazing! The spasms went completely. I could move freely. But sadly in my case . Adhesions grew at the site of my surgery. Making the spasms and pain worse. They won’t operate again as it’s too dangerous. I’m still glad I did it though. I hope you are healing well . Elizabeth
I am due to have this done for my l4l5 herniation and sciatica pain and discomfort off the scale but hopefully this will get rid of it because at moment everything you do is discomfort at best or searing pain nice video and this the first English patient one I found thanks
I feel your plight, I had a disc bulge for 18 months but luckily I'm finally overcoming it by training and concentrating on the core. Wishing you the best with your recovery!
Hey how you doing now?
Claire can you update us on your back situation after 2 yrs time?
I'm at same stage my surgery was 4 hrs long lots of fragments removed still got quite bad leg weakness which I can't resolve until I do physio in another 4 weeks. A few nerve twitches but pain not too bad , patience is the name of the game 👍
How are you now?
Just had my surgery done 6 weeks ago l5s1 no more pain but my left foot 🦶 numb n my surgeon said it might take up to 6 months to get it back to normal since I had severe irritation on my nerve ... but overall not as much pain as I use to have keep in mind each individual is different but over all happy w my choice best of luck to everyone who is considering the surgery n I hope this help some of you
Great video! I've watched so many of these and it's great to get different views on it. I've got my op on Monday, hope it goes as well as yours!
How are you now?
@@Sunil-wi4yw My back is great since the op. Im 34 and my back is better now that when I was 20. So glad I had the operation.
@@benmguest Thanks for the reply. I am considering surgery as 4 months of spasms and pain and couldn't walk for more than 2 mins.
@@benmguest I'm 10 months in of back pain. I found out I have a disc buldge at L5 s1 I've tried physical therapy, chiropractor, decompression exercises, deep tissue massages, medicine, etc nothing helps.

Has your pain went all the way away after surgery?
@@freestylebully4849 I was the same i was fine standing and lyong down. Tried everything. I couldn't sit. Especially not in a car. I had to lie down and be driven around by my amazing wife. The surgery was a great success. I do get back pain sometimes after some types sport but it subsides quickly. I hope that you find the solution to your back pain too.
Hi Claire,
Its 2 weeks post my surgery and I can 100% relate to how you were pre op and 2 weeks post op exactly!
Great Video
Thanks so much! Hope you're healing well xxx
Nitin Madan nitin bhai need to know some surgery experience
I’m 10 days pos op and I feel great only regret not doing it sooner . I didn’t have any complications since day 1 maybe just lucky I have felt a little stiffness around my incision that’s going away .

@@freestylebully4849 hello, yes all my pain has been gone . I wouldn’t recommend getting the injection I didn’t get it I figured I’d just be masking the pain and making it worse and the Dr told me “if “ it takes the pain away so I just skipped it and did the surgery all the PT I did at the beginning was a waste just made it worse hope everything gets better any other questions just let me know .
Had a micro lumber dicetotomy emergency surgery end of April 2019.I was going into paralysis on my right leg .Am very grateful with the surgeons for saving me from paralysis.Am no longer having pain on my right leg but I have severe pains when I seat long period and when am sleeping I still get muscle spasm but not as pain-ful as after I had surgery.
I had L5/S1 disk herniated.My right leg lost some power but still am able to walk
How long did the pain stop?What therapy’s was helpful after surgery?
E N, How are you now?
Hello! How are you doing now? I just had my surgery 3 days ago!
hey how are you feeling now , hope everything turned out great for you as its been 2 years for you !!
i had my MED two weeks back on two levels , l4-l5 and l5-s1, after the surgery i had numbness in my right foot like half of it , kind of like when you have the feeling of needles , anyway two weeks up and the numbness is gone from the foot pretty much , i can sit , stand , walk the nerve pain is gone , but i do feel little pain sometimes in knee join , or back of thigh and calf , its not constant and not that great but its there and it keeps changing like for a week i had pain on the back side of my leg now its gone , and sometimes i feel pain in my foot the front. my back feels little stiff and i feel like its maybe not taking the full weight of my body idk i am not sure but i feel it lacks flexibility , i haven't got the chance to meet my doctor after the surgery and i am going to meet him next week... i am still really afraid of doing anything as my biggest fear is what if it re herniates or when is it okay to start walking or sitting , or the symptoms i am feeling now is just temporary and with time the nerve will heal ? i hope my doctor clears these things up but i would love to hear your thoughts on this ..
with best wishes and regards , hope you have a healthy, blessed, happy life.

Hello!, How are you doing now. Could you share your experience. For mine, I had Microdiscetonomy at L5-S1 on 17th of December (10 Days back). There is no pain if I keep laying in bed. But if I sit for more than 5 minutes or walk more than 100 steps it hurts mostly in buttock and calf muscle areas.
How did you get people to watch your videos? I would like to share my experience as well in order to help others.
How much? I am thinking of going private also.I live in the UK.
I had it done and it was £8,500.
thank you for sharing
2 weeks is not long enough of a recovery process whatsoever for that procedure. Try 8-10 weeks and at least 12 weeks before you really return.
How are you doing 8 years later?
Hi Claire, Who was your surgeon?? & Where u got your surgery done? Thanks
Hi, please can you do an update? Im soooooo in pain..its unbereable and i need help... thanx you 😭
Melanie Begin When did you have your microdiscectomy?
Melanie Begin just uploaded an update! Are you waiting for surgery, had surgery or trying to fix it another way? So sorry you're in pain. I know how awful it is so
sending you so much love xxxx

Claire Simmonds had the microdiscectomy on august 3 ..... feeeling really great so far , im 99%, myself! So happy 😄
I’m at my 2 week post op and I’m having trouble walking on my own it hurts my lower back but I have no more leg pain. Is this happening for anyone else?
This is me exactly! I’m 9 days post op. First few days my back was agony (no leg pain thow) and then the few days after that I felt great. And now since yesterday my lower back is so sore especially when walking and getting the odd sciatica pain.
Oh mine was L3/4 disc forgot to mention
How much did it cost you? hope your doing well xxx
@Coolride17 hi thank you but I am in the uk my DR won't put me in for the opp coz coz my nerves are not damaged yet just compressed, so until it causes full nerve damage I CANT get the opp & have to suffer the pain :-( so I want to go private in the uk b4 I do get nerve damage & to hopefully live without being in so much pain, thank you again :-)
@@AngelAngel-nj6efGo to another surgeon and get the surgery done now! If you wait too long, your nerves could be irreversibly damaged
Did you get a loan to pay for the surgery?
Marshorror its free isnt it?
@@Flower-lr1xi not in the United States :(
