I had the procedure 24 days ago. So far so good. I needed relief from very bad pain at L4-L5. Procedure is quick. They aren't kidding when they say 6-8 weeks of limited bending or weight carrying. Be prepared to do what they say. I have experienced very substantial pain relief. I carry a cane just in case but I probably don't need it. I walk slowly getting my gait and confidence back a little at a time. Start PT tomorrow. My right leg still goes dead sometimes. I hope that improves. All in all, don't be afraid to get this procedure.
