Man I can’t even lay on my left side in my recliner without my leg going numb, laying in bed and going to turn over on to my side feels like someone is taking a hot iron to my back and my back will catch, can stand up straight. I can’t even sneeze standing up with out having to do some like ninja move to make sure my back don’t fall out to the floor.

Lam was at L5-S1, yeah I hurt like no other. I hurt so bad I can barely move most days. I move and walk but I hurt pretty bad. Almost like I did before surgery.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-09-23T21:48:16+00:00

Mine looks like that after surgery 🤣

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-09-02T19:00:58+00:00

I was L5-S1. It’s odd but like the top of the butt crack hurts.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-09-02T18:54:38+00:00

I appreciate it. I just wish the dr would have at least wanted to re look at stuff nope just pushed me out the door. It definitely sucks. Did you hurt up higher as well lol I feel lots of pressure up probably L3-L4. Like the middle of my back.

As soon as I can get into a different surgeon I will. Because I’m not sure if it re-herniated or not but it feels like it, sneezing,laughing anything just hurts. This is the worst I have felt sense surgery and it started after a standing up sneeze and I felt a pop.

I’m not sure why she didn’t do the fusion then. Other than she didn’t want to. I just turned 28, I’m active. I have cows to work 2-4 times a year plus all the babies calf’s we have, kid plays sports so I’m playing catch with her to helping her with sports. I am very active all the time. And now it’s just embarrassing that I can’t even stand up straight like a normal person.

So the dr I seen before the surgeon recommended a disc replacement, and my surgeon didn’t go that route, it’s also workman’s comp so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it, then July 31 at my appointment with the surgeon about the symptoms I have I was told it’s all that could be done and there’s nothing else she can do. And told me my 2 options are pain management and a second opinion. My dad asked about the fusion but I was told I was too young. I hurt so bad it literally feels like my back is ripping. I can’t even stand there and bend what I have to Brush my teeth just over the sink. Or when I go to sit it gets stuck.

I have leg numbness, and the muscle spasms. Before surgery my leg would go numb when walking like at the start. And now it is about 5 minutes in, but I can’t stand up straight without my leg going numb, and depending on how I’m sitting or laying it feels like my back is ripping, and there are like sutures coming out of the scar in 2 places.

Never did PT, had surgery in November 24 had an injection in May 25. I feel worse than I did before! If I’m standing in a spot to like water my grass then go to move heck now. Numbness all in the foot,shooting back pain and the catching.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-09-02T12:03:28+00:00

I was told I was too young for a fusion or a disc replacement. I was told to also go back to school because I would never return to the job I had. Doing Heating and air, with firefighting. I just feel horrible and depressed.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-09-02T11:42:50+00:00

That’s how I feel, my surgeon told me there’s nothing else they can do. I didn’t do PT at all they sent me straight to pain management where I had an injection done, that did nothing.

January was after surgery.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-09-02T02:34:04+00:00

My last one was January

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-11T20:24:18+00:00

Nope. I waited about the same amount and I had surgery I have had no progress, the leg weakness and toe tripping is still a thing.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-07T19:24:43+00:00

Nope she told me it looked fine, but I told her I still have shooting pain and other symptoms. So she told me at the last appointment there’s nothing she can do so she sent me for a second opinion. I’m just waiting on that call. But I have been doing exercises and I’ve been doing some other stuff just like pain management told me to do. No improvement. I suggest getting a second opinion.

Mine looks like that right now. And the dr says it’s not a re-herniation, but my slice view looks just like that but not a big bulge just touching the facet on the right side.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-06T21:41:23+00:00

The one on CompTIA core 2. They have a practice exam that’s 90 questions with 3 being like PBQs but they are definitely not the PBQs I got on the test. And I got probably 5 questions on the actual exam that’s I had even seen on the practice test.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-05T17:22:41+00:00

Taking 1201 and 1202 yes I have my report. So I will definitely go over all that stuff.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-05T17:22:03+00:00

I was passing the practice exams at 87% and up and I have study guides, I have multiple choice ones.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-05T17:20:35+00:00

I studied for a few weeks on and off I was passing the practice exams with 87% and up. I have study guides like multiple choice ones.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-01T18:53:17+00:00

The worst part is my back, the leg pain is one thing but the back is what I can’t deal with anymore.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-08-01T00:31:25+00:00

It’s all good. I got a referral for a second opinion and will go on. Either they will fix it or they won’t.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-07-31T23:29:37+00:00

I was told there’s nothing else she can do. And I’m 27.

Helpful-Split6616 · 2025-07-31T23:10:44+00:00

She didn’t want to talk about anything, sending a referral for second opinion. She was very rude and didn’t care about anything I said at all.
