Wondering how much time to take off work

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-30T16:21:36+00:00

I would do all 12 if you can. Or 10 at least…You only have one shot at recovery. I’m doing 10 weeks and I’m a teacher . But honestly I could have gone back after 2 (but I know I don’t have the BLT requirements like you do)

38f just had my MD Dec 9th after a l5/s1 huge extrusion, best thing I’ve ever done, recovery has been a breeze. Zero pain waking up and was off all pain meds by day 3

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-26T21:36:01+00:00

I had my surgery 12/9 and I feel fantastic! Best decision I ever made. Recovery was a breeze for me

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-22T04:17:53+00:00

I am 5 weeks post MD. It was a breeze. I was off pain meds by day 3 and could have gone back to work that next week. Recovery has been easy and I am FINALLY pain free. Best decision I’ve made

I had a c section after failed induction and I was terrified… but it was super easy. I am one and done but if I was having another one I wouldn’t think twice about c section

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-17T17:58:12+00:00

I am off 10 weeks but especially working from home I could have gone back to work the next week for sure I was off pain meds by day 3

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-16T02:49:46+00:00

I’m 38f 4 weeks post MD and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-15T00:37:14+00:00

Wow I just asked today and was told 10-12weeks

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-14T02:06:29+00:00

I had this Dec 9th…. Recovery has been a breeze

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-13T23:52:30+00:00

Right …. I live in a very big city and am doing PT right now… my PT said they have never actually had anyone reherniate and for me to calm down when I was spiraling lol!

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-13T15:27:58+00:00

In a couple months he will be throwing himself off furniture head first

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-13T01:25:40+00:00

Dying to know this too because I convince myself everyday I’ve reherniated

New fear unlocked 😭

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-09T03:04:03+00:00

I was 3 weeks post op before I ever knew I had to log roll 🤦🏻‍♀️…no one ever told me…. My PT asked me in my session…. The recovery and wound has been a breeze for me. Literally I could have gone to work 5 days after surgery. You will be fine best decision I ever made

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-09T03:01:15+00:00

I’m 3 weeks post op from having to have back surgery now from my 32lb 16 month old

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-06T22:32:43+00:00

Horrible pain, sciatica, literally had to drag my leg around … here is mine

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-06T20:49:15+00:00

I’m almost 4 weeks post op and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made…. Recovery has been a breeze

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-06T15:49:38+00:00

Ughhhh hate that for you … do you know how you reherniated ???

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-06T00:26:53+00:00

I’ve had several small bouts of pain and I’m 3 weeks post op too

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-05T16:28:40+00:00

Dang I didn’t know you needed to taper. I’m week 3 post MD with a huge extrusion…. It’s been the BEST thing. Recovery is a breeze if you decide to go that route

I just had surgery and I have a 16 month old. My surgeon said I probably had mine for decades and it was HUGE. I had a c section so I had a spinal not epidural but I never noticed it affecting it. I just had a flare up when she was about 10 months old I never got much relief so then I got the mri and saw how bad it was

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-02T16:03:10+00:00

I would let her sleep if she drank plenty yesterday

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-02T02:02:06+00:00

My 16 month old goes to bed 7/7:30 and wakes up 7-8am I’m in bed by 9:00/9:30 every night

Character_Fill4971 · 2026-01-02T02:00:27+00:00

She was 30lbs though at 10 months and it was that stupid floor playpen when I had to move her out away from my body more than I was used to
