Aarne,

The nerve damage I sustained was a result of the surgery itself, when distracting the disc space. Though distraction damage is a common part of this surgery, it generally resolves itself in a short amount of time. The severity of my damage is unusual.

The pain you now have in your legs is not the same. You have every reason to be hopeful that this pain will ultimately disappear once the cause, I assume a herniated disc, is removed.

I wish you the very best of luck along with a speedy and uneventful recovery. Just remember to take it slow. I do believe you've got the best surgeon. Please keep us posted.

Dale
