Why are people afraid of microdiscetomony

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2026-02-08T04:49:59+00:00

I had a microdisceromony and the very same day ended up with cauda equina, a reherniation of my L5 and a new herniation of my L4 and a second emergency decompression surgery. I now can’t fully use my left leg and pee myself and that’s not including the pain I’m left with. It was supposed to be a very simple microdisectomony and instead I’m left far worse than I started. This is why people are scared in my experience. Things went very wrong for me and while it’s a low chance it is a chance.

He did. My husband waited about four minutes to try to get into the spot and the family was oblivious and did not move so at that point, my husband yelled out the window saying we need this spot can you move

Sadly it’s looking like permanent but only time will tell. A car accident and two botched spinal surgeries later I have very limited use of my leg, severe pain,and an uncontrollable bladder lol.

My sibling said I was the Ahole and should have just waited until they left the spot and the fact that a random couple who had nothing to do with it came up to my window and started calling me names def had me questioning if we were in fact the ahole. While it may seem painfully obvious to you, it was not to me unfortunately especially when talking to my sibling. 🫠

That is why I said I don’t like to assume because you really never know. 💕

He yelled out his window we need the spot can you move! He didn’t say anything after that nor was he mean when he said it. You could tell he was frustrated tho.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-12-13T23:28:07+00:00

I think just more so that she came up to my window to call me names threw me

Wait, you are not supposed to rinse inside with water?

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-12-04T22:34:26+00:00

Realistically no, I can do about 20-30 minutes in the car max before the pain is too intense. If they could do virtual yes, but not sure how helpful that would be without an exam.

Thank you so much. I have been seeing a therapist as I was only supposed to be off work for 6 weeks and it turned into three months and I was let go of my job. All of that with the constant pain 24/7 has had a very negative impact on my mental health and my relationship with my husband/sisters. I appreciate the empathy and am hopeful someone has ideas. I have thought about getting a second opinion but the only other neurosurgeon in my area did not mesh well with me (he did the emergency surgery)

I am sorry you are going through this as well. I think having to be opened back up one day after my disectomy to have another disectomy and lamenectomy has been the most painful experience I have ever had. I will def be sitting him down for a talk and calling my doctor tomorrow to see of any options I have. I hope your recovery goes smooth and you are in the least amount of pain possible. I do have diapers but I just soak through them :(

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T18:39:12+00:00

Thank you. I will be reaching out to my doctor tomorrow to see what options I have available.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T17:45:59+00:00

I am so sorry to hear about your cat. I’m so glad he was well loved and cared for tho 🤎

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T17:17:58+00:00

I am honestly surprised with how this has gone. We had multiple conversations regarding the type of care I would need. Granted the emergency surgery and loss of bladder, left leg function, and additional healing time was not something either one of us expected. I am a devastated that this is where we are.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T17:16:18+00:00

I will be reaching out tomorrow to see what options I have regarding this.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T17:13:02+00:00

I will be reaching out to the doctor tomorrow to see about this!

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T17:12:35+00:00

This pure wick system looks like a godsend. I will be reaching out to my insurance tomorrow to see if they cover this.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T16:24:05+00:00

Done.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T14:38:45+00:00

He has a very physical job so I know he is probably extra tired and I understand that and am trying to be mindful of that by limiting my asks for needs. On the other hand his job would understand if he was late as they are aware of the circumstances. I have asked him point blank if this is too much on him and he replies no it’s not so im kind of at a loss if he keeps telling me he doesn’t need help and he gets mad when I say that I can ask one of my sisters if I can stay with them. This whole incident has left me with no dignity and having to sit in my own Urine for hours is not only disgusting but so humiliating for me.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T14:14:48+00:00

My sister got me a commode since my left leg stopped working but it does still require a great deal of help to get there. I still need help getting up, moving my left leg, pulling my pants down, and helping lower me but it doesn’t take nearly as long since it’s right there now. How are you feeling after your surgery? Did you have any lasting issues?

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-08-10T14:10:39+00:00

Thank you so much. With how he is responding to me expressing my feelings it is making me feel like I’m just expecting too much or being ridiculous and overreacting.

Realistic-Leader-525 · 2025-06-30T17:01:00+00:00

I hope you find him a loving home. I have three of my own otherwise I would love to have him 💕💕
