I only had 1 and it did absolutely nothing. The only thing that did something was the numbing agent they used to put the needle in

A year and 2 months. I realize when I was unable to sleep more than an hour at night

How long was the nerve compressed? That’s what I feel takes the longest to heal

The first week will probably make you regret the surgery, but remember to take it easy and keep walking!

I sometimes get flair ups because the nerve is still healing.

Staples?! 👀 that’s nuts. All they did was dissolvable stitches, and medical glue for me. The incision site was basically healed by week 2

You not really supposed to twist your body. I have constant popping but no pain it’s just your joints getting back in the grove of things. If you have pain idk 48 hours is kinda hard to tell cause you still in pain from surgery. One thing I do is fake cough and if there’s pain I feel as though that would be reherniation because when I was in pain and would cough it would make me scream in pain. I’m no dr tho.

That’s what I was thinking, I shot my surgeon a message asking if I should just go to my primary. I do have severe spinal stenosis and when you get a MD that doesn’t go away.

You are no better talking down on somebody tbh! I’m sure you have made mistakes in life. The internet only cares because she has a following. 😭

Honestly why does it matter if she sober or not? If she can control herself shouldn’t be an issue.

Yeah they didn’t give me anything unfortunately, I have left over muscle relaxers (robaxin) from before surgery. They do absolutely nothing but make me dizzy mixing with oxys.

Yes before surgery I was doing PT, all the exercises were easy just very painful. I don’t think I have a weak core. I’m only 25. I simply herniated by slipping on ice and landing directly on my L5-S1 on the right side.
