No advice from me.

My wife just had back surgery in early Oct. It was on her L5 and S1 that was broken. She did great. Good luck on your surgery :thumbup3:.

Mine was cervical (neck). While it is a major surgery it is amazing what doctors can do in this day and age. I didn't take any pain meds in recovery. Nothing. It was GLORIOUS to wake up and be pain-free.

Do your PT. Like from now on, not just when you go see the PT folks. I thought I'd be clever and blow off my exercises a couple of weeks ago. Within 72 hours I was waking up with headaches and neck pain that rivaled any pain I'd had pre-surgery. Won't be making that mistake again.

That might of been caused by whisky ya know. Lots and lots of cheap red-eye whisky. “Barkeep! Whisky! More whisky!”
