Re: Back pain
Hi all
Thought I would update you all on the operation, went in last Thursday and operation went well, still some shooting pain down leg but not sure if that's just because of movement of nerve during operation and swelling in area. Lots of metal staples in back that are a bit sore but they come out next Monday.
Physio exercises are quite sore so cutting back a bit and see what happens, planning to be back in work in 2-3 weeks time depending on pain and movement, no point In rushing back too soon

Re: Back pain
Penners,
Agree take all the time off you can because if you don't and you come back too early you only have to take more time out later.
Hope things get easier quickly

Re: Back pain

And you are correct, no use in rushing back before you or your body are ready
Hope you mend quickly and as pain-free as possible

Re: Back pain

Staples being removed tomorrow and cant wait to be able to sleep properly without them sticking in
Thanks again

Re: Back pain
Ooooooh
Hope things calm down and tinglies dissipate once the staples are out, as well
No rushing around Penners - leave stuff for Dangermouse to sort out for a change
