Thank you for responding. One of the reasons I chose L3-4-5 laminectomy was my legs were numb when walking and I was told it could progress to Cauda equine. Just before surgery I had one episode on saddle numbness on
the left.

Right now the pain from surgery has subsided a little and I have more mobility in standing up , rolling over, sitting down. This first week was horrible, but I can see improvement.

I don’t think I was adequately informed about the pain following surgery. It was more like you will walk out of here the next day. This is going to be a long process but finally see some improvements.

Thank you again for your reply. You had it rough!
