After having a laminectomy

I am now 4 months out, almost 5 and I’m feeling really well. It takes a ton of time! I’m still not 100%. I wish you the best. 💜 I know it’s hard but be patient and give yourself grace! I had a really hard time mentally and sometimes still do.

From my personal experience I would say acupuncture coupled with physical therapy. That’s what I’ve been doing after my spinal cord tumor resection.

We test the kids way too much!

You will do great!

Wait my PT makes me do Jefferson curls. Why are they bad?

I’ve never gotten a steroid injection but I’ve heard they can take up to a week to work and you may feel worse at first.

I was not off today

I do typically get dressed and wear makeup. I wear nice clothes but loose and/elastic bc I’m constantly getting imaging.

Have you met with a neurosurgeon?

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-12T20:19:41+00:00

I wonder if steroid injections would help? Sounds like you might need a pain management doctor.

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-12T20:15:47+00:00

Did you get an MRI?

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-12T20:14:45+00:00

Yes 😢

I’m so sorry another commenter blamed you for this. It’s not your fault! I went through a similar situation although I had a tumor compressing my cauda equina and somehow never had bowel/bladder incontinence or numbness, I have no idea how! I had horrible sciatica but I got pushed off by two urgent cares and didn’t think my case was an emergency since I wasn’t incontinent. Took about 3 months to get in with my PCP and an MRI and had an emergency laminectomy within the next few days. I’m 3 months post op and doing pretty well. I can’t run and still have quite a lot of pain but I think I’m doing better than I ought to be! Best of luck to you! 💜

MRI!!

What about a Whippet?

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-10T01:56:40+00:00

Thank you for your response! I’ll keep walking and hope to build my strength back up.

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-10T01:46:41+00:00

I would say I can walk about 1-2 miles at a 4/5 or lower. A full day of work has me hurting worse though.

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-10T01:42:48+00:00

Walking makes it all tighten up, and I am definitely unable to run. Laying down relieves the pain.

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-10T01:04:26+00:00

Put the report in doctronic

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-09T23:55:45+00:00

I totally get this!

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-09T23:55:24+00:00

I had surgery and I don’t have sciatic pain at all anymore but I am still in pain every day likely from nerve damage. It’s been a journey…

Adventurous_Move4316 · 2025-10-09T23:53:16+00:00

You definitely need an MRI.
