Lumbar Laminectomy stories please.

Did you hurt it in a big truck accident? LSU needs more NIL money.

Stepped on a crack AND BROKE YO OWN GOD DAMNED BACK

I had it done Dec 21 on my L4. They rolled me back at 9 am and I was in the car at noon. The first week I just took it easy. Watched a lot of bowl games. The sciatic pain was off and on. They gave my a steroid for a week and I started walking a lot. Got up to 3 miles quickly. I walk every day. I wish I had done it long ago. I feel 15 years younger. I’m not 100% cured but feel 95% cured. Just don’t try and do too much too soon.

So you're getting your labia removed?

My pops just had it done 10 days after a way worse upper neck surgery. He has had four neck/back surgeries in the last four years and the laminectomy was the easiest to handle. I am just trying to say, I think your recovery is going to be relatively speedy and you probably won't be half-paralyzed for two months like some other fusion surgeries. Hang in there, bro.

I’m in spine surgery every day. Lami is what you hope for in spine surgery outside of a microdisc.

Kelly Skrantz did mine. Got me back to 85%. You will never completely recover. Expect episodic back pain for a couple years.

Advice? Strengthen lower back muscles. I started playing golf again 4 yes post-op and within 2 years regular back pain was gone. Still get sore easily but none is this is the same pain I had pre-surgery.

I wouldnt let a surgeon near my back but thats just me
