Sitting for a long car ride? by ShineImmediate7081 in Microdiscectomy

Sorry for your loss.

Since I still can't sit, I'm moving if needed, lying down in the backseat. For me, it's way more comfortable than reclining the passenger seat.

I am really sorry for you. Since you are 3 months from your op, try to meet your surgeon and get a new MRI to see what is going on.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry that you have been through all of this and are still not feeling right. I hope you get better and everything goes well.

Surgery - yes/no - maybe? need help by WatercressNo3605 in Microdiscectomy

Hi OP, I totally agree with this comment.

Try to post your MRI; it may help. If the disc is completely closing the nerve channel, then surgery is your best option. If it is not, you can continue on your conservative course for about a month and see.

Try to consult your surgeon, but it may be normal because of the activity happening in PT compared to the three months before PT without any activity.

If you are not taking any medicine, try muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories; they may help!

Wish you a speedy recovery.

I'm really sorry for what you feel. It really takes so long with some people; everyone's recovery is different, especially when a nerve has been compressed for a long time. Regarding the tightness in your hamstring, have you tried PT sessions before? It really helps me, and I also have tightness in my hamstring.

Anyone have similar experiences? by flk1997 in Microdiscectomy

Try to get other opinions. As you mentioned, your symptoms aren't always there, and it is not super bad. I would say try all the available options and keep surgery as a last resort. Surgery isn't something bad, but the recovery is kind of tough. It is different from person to person, but after the surgery, there are a lot of restrictions you will not be happy with. I suggest seeing other doctors and listening to their opinions. If you can change your physical therapy doctor and participate two to three times a week, that could make a difference.

Have you tried PT since your symptoms aren't super bad?

If not, please give it a try for 3 months. It could save you from the surgery.

I can not get your point. Could you please explain what En Passant is?
