4 month post L4- L5 Discectomy

[@davidjelinek1977]

I had mine in 2005 and got mine glued shut . I was back working in month and playing softball in 3 months . I barely had any discomfort after surgery and went home within huge bandage with small gauze pack and felt great . 19 yrs later still not even an ache

[@jj6089-z4w]

Yo, you got the disc glued shut?! They can do that? Every resource I look at says they can't do anything to close off the disc, and I'm really interested in doing something to seal off that hole they're about to leave in me!

[@BAMJo11]

I’m about to have this surgery in two weeks and seeing your videos of how you recovered gave me a lot of insight. It’s made me a little less nervous to know what to expect. Thank you for making these!

How did your surgery go

[@goodryan8989]

How did it go and how was recovery?

[@DrMJJr]

It’s been a year and I’m doing great!!! In retrospect my recovery wasn’t easy and I wish that someone told me that it would take about 6 weeks. However, by that point I felt almost 100% back to normal. Since then I only have had rare twinges of sciatic discomfort-maybe once every three or four months and it only lasts a few minutes and then disappears. I’d say overall I’m 98% normal and I’d recommend anyone suffering to NOT HESITATE-get the surgery and DO NOT WAIT. It’s totally worth it, IMHO.

I’m one week post-op and I feel better and stronger every day. Walking around definitely helps. Still feel a bit of pain on my right side but I think just normal swelling from surgery. Hoping it gets better with time. I’ve heard best thing to do after this type of surgery is to get up and get moving. Don’t over due it either , but getting up and walking for a few minutes definitely helps. Just listen to your body and do what you can, everyone is different. Hope your doing well brother! Thanx for the video

[@saradiez8131]

I had my microdiscectomy L4-L5 now 4 weeks ago, and they put en implant in as well , because the disk is really little now. I have to say I do feel soooo good, only sometimes little pain in operation area. Now ciatic pain anymore since I waked up from the operation.The worst after the operation was the first week. Had to rest for 10 days , only bed and armchair. First two days nearly only in bed. I started already with physiotherapy once a week and I do since a little more than one week my walking every morning. I hope do go back to work in 2 weeks time. So my operation was a good decision .

Searching KZbin for what to expect after surgery, I also have a large l4-5 herniation and have done ALL the things. Looked into decompression therapy as an alternative to surgery being 31 yrs old it really makes me nervous. I had a consultation with a surgeon and he advised against that option due to the herniation size and how long it had been out and said it could do permanent damage if the hernia landed on the nerves wrong after a session. Other chiropractors backed up what he said so that did make me feel more confident with going the surgical route. I'm about 2 weeks out from my microdisectomy and I am terrified but so ready to be done. Between pain and no sleep emotionally I am ready for it to be over. Your documentation has helped me so much!

[@emilgociu1421]

Any heavy lift you do ,it's a pressure on you disc. If you feel no pain now, doesn't mean that your disc it's back to his full capacity. Stay away from jumps or anything that will put your disc under stress. I had this problem for 7 years, was a gym guy, and 2 weeks ago had my surgery as well. Just remember that no pain doesn't necessarily mean that you can stress that disc. It's vulnerable for at least 1 year.

[@JB-yh8so]

Right now, I am facing my second disk herniation. Last time I went the natural route, and as most of the literature suggests it took me about two years to be fully recovered. This time around, I don't want to wait that long. I have a surgery consult set up in the next few days. Recovering from this in six months sounds like a dream come true. I hope to have a similar outcome.

The inflamation reduces 4-6 weeks post so stay persistent

I have just had microdiscectomy on my l5 disc and s1 nerve root. I have had severe pain/numbness/ tingling sensations down the whole of my left leg and left foot for the past 9 months. When i woke up from the anaesthetic, i was able to walk around the ward absolutely pain free. I have minor pain at the incision site. It is going to be a tough next few month's with regards to recovery etc , but i have read so many posts and threads on this operation. some negative and some positive. I was completely on the fence with it but i think it comes down to individual themselves, and for me it has been worth it so far , yes it is early days but before surgery i couldnt sit, walk, sleep, lay down. The pain was excruciating. The truth is, once you have a back injury, you always have a back injury. But you can learn to manage it. Tell your kids to treat there spine like a piece glass. But in my opinion, wether this operation is beneficial and worth doing, is COMPLETELY down to the individual.

Think about a discectomy as removing your car's suspension and stabilizing components a little at a time. I tried everything under the sun to make my laminectomies and discectomies work and not have to have a fusion. Unfortunately core workouts and weightlifting were not possible due to the instability that was created from my ortho- being so quick to cut me without a long term plan. Everything I ever looked up about fusions made me never want to have one, but now I have, and feel better than ever.

Hey man thanks for sharing your journey. I had the same surgery about 7 weeks ago. I was feeling amazing till about 5.5 weeks but I was helping my dad on ladder and had to catch myself from about 2 feet up really nothing and then I was hammering a rebar stake in for probably 20 hits with a 4 lbs sledgehammer. Looking back that was really dumb of me. Been feeling sore on my right side off and on now for a week. My question is do you have days where you knew you did too much and how did you handle those. My Dr. has said nothing about PT but I’m wondering if I should be.

[@abdulrazakalmarashli367]

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. Microdiscectomy between L4-L5. After the surgery there was some tingiling but it relieved after a while. 2 weeks after surgery, I start working out because I thought I was up to, but I got a pain in my lower back and leg so I think I reherniated a little disc. I talked to my doctor and he told me to take it easy and take a rest. Then in the second day I started physical therapy for my lower back. I worked out about like 5 different exercises 2 times per day. so after at maximum 3 days every thing is relieved. But now I got some pain in my leg just when I sit down (as before the surgery), though I can sit down but with some pain. and I think exercises for your lower back is really crucial to return to normal, thank you.

[@michaelbowley7584]

Another question did you have foot drop before or after surgery and did it go away after surgery?

[@jeffhiera]

I also had an L4L5 microdiscectomy. It was on 10/19/2023. Just started physical therapy 2 weeks ago. Feeling well with the exception of my left big toe and the 3 middle toes in my left foot. The only symptom that refuses to go away is numbness and burning. Still take a prescription anti inflammatory or a Norco here and there. Question: Did you also experience any pain or numbness or burning in your feet? My dad had this same surgery 25 years ago and everything went perfect for him. I'm slightly depressed also because I used to work out 5x per week but am not yet cleared to work out yet. I'm considering acupuncture and/or nitric oxide for increased blood circulation. What are your thoughts? Please advise. Thanks!

Hey Ryan, how's your back now? Seriously. Do you have pain 4 years later?

[@ruthsolis6355]

Thanks for doing this update!!!

[@edgarcervantes7708]

Any updates on how your feeling?

[@ryucaz99]

Hi Ryan. Just came across your post discectomy videos. Did you ever have any sciatic pain on the opposite (unaffected) side to your surgery/ affected leg?

Truth

[@TrayMillsOfficial]

@@IronFive0hey man thanks for all the videos. It would be amazing if you could do an update video with us on how you’re feeling now. I would love to know who your doctor was and if your disc fully healed. Do you have full range of motion again, such as bending down and putting on socks etc? Have you been able to bench press and squat what you use to be able to do before the surgery/injury, such as heavy lifting? I have a L5 S1 herniated disc and I’m thinking about getting surgery myself. My physical therapist says I can avoid surgery but I don’t think I will ever be able to fully bend down again without sciatica pain without surgery so that’s why I’m thinking about getting the surgery. Hope to hear your latest update buddy. Cheers 🍻

What was your diet recommended after surgery 🤔

[@stevejones6535]

I’m 96hrs into my L2 L3 dissectomy and I haven’t taken anything for pain b/c I haven’t had any pain my doctor is bad ass. My only pain is I can’t drive for two weeks

[@jaredmccaskill5701]

First off thank you for making the video and being honest. I just got physical therapy and I haven'st started it yet its been almost 3 months since surgery. I can't touch my toes like you. There is no way I would even squat with weight. I can't even do it with weight. Basically all I can still do is walking. Which seems to help after half a mile.

How are you now

[@jaredmccaskill5701]

@@rooneymizo6233 I am slowly getting better, I have to still take opiods to sleep at night sometimes if the pain is alot. I did a chest and back work out mainly chest and I felt better after that. If I do hanging I could do that, but it hurts to try to do a pull up. The physical therapy is definately helpful but also painful. I still gotta use ice on my back that seems to help alot as oppossed to heat. But after physical therapy I can bend over easier and sit in normal chairs.

Hey brother, how are you doing today?

Ryan do you have a recent update to share with us? Thank you Marco 8/10/23

[@ninagonzalez12]

Great to hear about your physical ability four month after surgery.

[@jskeith11]

What is your pain level (if any) on a regular basis? I have a herniated disc L5S1 and I’ve done PT and my pain still isn’t going away. Stumbled upon your videos because I’ve been researching the surgery you got to see if it’s the answer for me.

[@slimeasmr3242]

Having my surgery next week 58 but very athletic. What do we feel is a timeframe for 100 percent. Seems all over the place.
