Recovery from micro disectomy.

Hi people.
Just asking really for anyone who had what felt like a badly bruised back after the op to let me know how quickly it settled down? The guy in the next door bed who had a similar op walked out easily with very little pain.
I am finding it slightly easier to walk, but getting up out of sitting position or out of bed still proves tricky!
The wound I hope is healing well. Worried about pulling stitches! My fiancée checks it for me and only a very small about of leaking so should be ok

Be meticulous about hygiene to prevent any infection - hand gels etc.

I had a huge scar down my back when I had my decompression op and quite honestly had no pain at all. I was told to do little walks so I walked up and down the ward and into the corredor. I came home with no pain at all
They are usually discolving stitches and yes, I had a small amount of leaking. Just think how flipping lucky you are James, I can't have the operation you have had. JUST TAKE IT EASY and thank God that you have been lucky to have it

I have some 2kg dumb bells that I use every day, that might seem very little but little and often is better than heavier weights.
Best of luck and keep us posted on your recovery as one day I hope to be in your position
