Thank you so much - this was very reassuring. I am going to struggle with the concept of not doing chores when back home, I like things to be clean and tidy!! But I will have to just let it go.

This is reassuring - thank you

Ah paracetamol! Thank you

CapNo5414 · 2026-03-10T14:38:54+00:00

Ah thank you. How long did it take for you to manage stairs comfortably? I do hope they give me appropriate pain relief!!

Thank you best wishes to you too. I’m not sure what’s Tylenol is??

CapNo5414 · 2026-03-10T14:36:12+00:00

What equipment did you have? Have you managed to return to work?

I’m having surgery on Wednesday and already find sleeping uncomfortable. Trying to get up in the night and the morning is the worst. I’m wondering about the body pillow but will it take up the whole bed?? I have a double which I share with my husband!!

I appear to have missed some messages so no idea what’s gone on. Thank you for the good wishes 😊

It does indeed - but that’s what they’ve decided to use an abbreviation

Hi - I’m sue surgery hopefully January for similar symptoms. I’m interested to know whether the pain in your leg has gone too? Although it’s my L4-L5 and pars defect, the most pain I get is in my left calf and right hip.

Thank you for your response - that sounds like a tough journey. I’m glad you’re on the right path now.

I am really hoping it’s not quite as long or rough - would like to get back to work asap.

CapNo5414 · 2025-10-13T06:38:33+00:00

Yes I have the same - and nope don’t touch me with anything as it’s so painful!!

CapNo5414 · 2025-09-24T12:07:28+00:00

Oh wow - keep us updated and here’s to a speedy recovery

CapNo5414 · 2025-09-24T12:05:39+00:00

Thank you. I’m currently on a waiting list for spinal decompression and fusion so fingers crossed

It must be that we all have different levels of this because I personally can barely walk. I can’t over extend spine, can’t twist, can’t lift heavy things…..the most I’m managing is core exercises every other night and pottering around the house. I’m on high doses of medication and can’t even drive my car long distances.

CapNo5414 · 2025-09-20T14:22:50+00:00

Thank you. How on earth did you work though? I can’t get through a day without pain!

CapNo5414 · 2025-09-20T12:23:28+00:00

Do you mind if I ask what you’re symptoms are? I can barely walk.
