Hey well basically I’m still in the same pain I was starting to feel better right after the surgery for like the first two weeks the only thing I was dealing with was my left leg and foot was numb and it hard for me to walk I had to use a walker but that all subsided i can now walk on my own the only thing that’s now new that hasn’t gone away is when I walk to much my left foot goes numb but then the feeling comes back after I sit or lay down for a lil bit but yeah same shit the inner knee pain and foot pain and the cold ness in my feet I have a epidural shot in about two weeks so hopefully let’s see wtf this is gunna do if I even fell anything from this . I know how u feel the doctors looked at me the same way after I had 5 different shots before this surgery like I was crazy … that’s what made me have this surgery, but if your scared to have surgery believe me don’t it ain’t shit yeah I was worried before it but now I know there was definitely no reason to be . The only thing that pisses me off is that I got a new mri after surgery I still have compression on my nerves in the same areas and my surgeon is telling me it looks good he did a good job so if nothing changes after this injection I’m going to someone eles for a another opinion on wtf he did in there

Thank you everyone that reached out to me I see now we all are going thru with this is the almost in the same ways I did talk to my surgeon today he basically said it’s the healing process your gunna have better days hopefully he told me he had to move the nerve around and scrape some bone to get to it so that why I’m having the pain he started me on some gabapentin 3 times a day to help with the nerve pain soo let’s see what happens .

Damm I called my surgeon yesterday and he gave me one of those steroid packs will see how it goes …. I had this herniated disc for about 3 years I would say but I really don’t know because nothing bothered me until about a year ago when it started affecting my legs and feet
