Let's hear the positive outcomes from anyone who had spine surgery

@nlback22 Hey Nadine! Glad to see you again and hear how well your back is doing😊 I had a lot of great improvement from month 8 to month 13, where I’m at now, and I wish the same for you!
Nerves really do take a long time to heal. My nerve pain is in the muscles and skin across my back and I am slowly weaning myself off Gabapentin.
I wonder if the increase in numbness/tingling you experience while walking uphill is a result of leaning forward a little?
Wishing you the best, Sherry

Good Morning, Sherry,
Glad to hear your doing well and thank you for the good wishes!
Your experiences that you share about your progress, let's other like me, know what to expect.
Good luck with tapering off the Gabapentin, I know it can be a slow process. What was your high dose of Gabapentin?
I had the same hunch about why my calf/ foot numbness increases when I walk up hills. But I have tried to make certain I don't lean forward, only taking small steps, and it still happens. 🤔
May you have continued success and improvement--and be riding those horses before you know it!
🙏😊🙏
Nadine
