nerve pain and just general question
Rob,
I too, had L4-5, L5-S1. Mine was 08/17/07. I wake up about 2am feels like my legs have ants crawling on them. I will either take a lortab or percocet which both seem to work. I also get up and do some stretching that helps but in the morning the back is sore.
Can I ask a question?
I had the disc replacement with a large bone spur that compressed the nerve as well and annular tear. I can go days ok not back to 100% but them wham the pain puts me down for a day. I guess this is normal. I have not been able to go back to the gym yet. I get so tired by the end of the day. I am able to work most of the week full days. I am hoping by my post op visit in January he will allow me at least going to the gym for some cardio and light weights doing reps only.
Thanks,
Martha
