    wife is rushing around like a headless chicken cooking, cleaning, cup of tea dear? Biscuits? TV

    My wife has been fantastic, taking care of me, helping in any way she can.

     

    Imagine if it was a UK wife:

    from google : Even though microdiscectomy recovery times are generally much faster than more invasive spinal surgeries, they're still major procedures that involve general anesthetic. As such, they require careful oversight prior to medical personnel releasing you to return home.

     

    you are a brave man.   many dread having any surgery on the spine ....... myself included.

    I guess if i was in constant pain i would , however,  choose to do .   

    I had a Spinal Block & IV Propofol for sleep.

     

    I dreaded it, & unfortunately there seems to be many people who say it all went wrong for them. 

     

    Seriously, I think some people troll the medical health forums as well. I've seen it on tvf also.

     

    The incision was maybe 6cm, but although it's closed up now, there is a little scar tissue which irritates.

     

    Apologies Surelynot, I'm not trying to highjack your thread.

    Ouch......painful for you AND you wallet?

     

    Where did you get your surgery done?

     

    Good to hear you are 100%

    Fort Prajak army hospital, Udon Thani.

     

    Cost including an MRI, was approximately 70k baht, with a private room for 2 nights.

    I've noticed if I sit on the edge of the bed, but then support my upper body weight using my arms and hands the pain is relieved....... hoping it is not disc related!!.......I am now upright after 24 hours and can walk very very gingerly........hoping that is a good sign?

    Ok, it's possible that a disc has herniated, given that the pain is relieved when you do as above.

     

    However, it could just be inflammation.

     

    If it doesn't improve then an MRI  - about 8kbt, will give you the answer.

     

    For the last 4 months I had severe sciatica from an l4/5 herniation. The pain was absolutely vile.

     

    Had a Microdisectomy 3 weeks ago. 100% better.
