2 months post surgery L345 and laminectomy

I'm 5 months post surgery and still have numbness in left leg and can't stand or walk without pain for longer than 5 minutes.

I had a double fusion for DDD, Spondylithesis and stenosis. Your op was bigger than mine. I'd slow down if I were you. Walk when you can and as much as can. Hold off on Physio as long as you can buy you must do this when you can.

I had ACDF and laminectomy last month and Im also having night sweats now so irritating I hope you find relief soon

Hi, I had exactly the same operation last August, I think you are doing well to be able to walk for 20 minutes, you must remember the operation was major and will have taken its toll on your body. The surgeon would have cut through skin, muscle etc etc all these need time to heal. I woud recomend you walk 15 minuites each day and lie down on a flat bed as often as you are able which will help relax everything and help the healing. My consultant advised me that following a laminectomy which was to free up sticky nerves it is important to prevent them re attaching them selves, this is done by either laying down or with your feet up on a stool, then with your legs out straight

keping your heal down move your toes backwords to in the direction of knee, this will move the nerves in your back and prevent them from sticking again. It is very important to sit up and not crouch, I take a small pilow every where and position near my lumbar when I sit down. I also had hot flushes and every time something touched my back it felt like bad sunburn. You didnt say wether you had a fusion with rods etc, I did and now after one year I am nearly back to normal. If I do somtimes feel uncomfotable I consider the alternative which could be much worse as proven by many people on this site.
