Hi, I am post 6 weeks after my L5-S1 minimally invasive microdiscectomy surgery. I am feeling better and have some soreness/cramps in my muscles esp. in the hamstrings and calf area. If I walk for some time I have some soreness in my lower back. Other than walking I am doing nothing and no physiotherapy yet. My doctor told me that I can start driving carefully after 1 week but I haven't tried since I was afraid of the road and traffic. I was restricted to do bending, twisting and sitting more than 30 minutes but it was not mentioned till when I have to restrict myself. I am following the same pattern from day 1 post surgery except there is some increment in walking distances. I want an advise on when I can start my normal life (excluding exercises) which will not have an impact. Also I am rejoining back to my office after my 8 weeks post surgery. So please advise on the do's and don'ts at this moment. I am 94 kg male with moderate physical activity before surgery.
I wanted to ask a question that I basically often feel that the Base of my right toe is on fire like I feel a burning sensation or kind of inflammation so what may be the cause behind this situation I personally feel that it is due to some kind of nerve problem so what would u suggest me for its treatment???
Last night I slept with less clothing, here in Jodhpur cold just reached, so I feel highly coldy and then I wake up and with blanket covered myself,, it is ok for cold but I got heavy headache when I woke up,, during work I take medicine paracetamol from first aid now in the evening same headache and cold started
Got ACL surgery done on my right knee couple of years ago. It happened while playing football, so I suppose it's a sports injury. I want to make sure everything is fine, and get it checked and may be some physiotherapy too.
Regards.
I think I got shin splints and then took 6 weeks off. I started running a week ago and a done a few runs since and my legs have started hurting again. I am wondering whether it was actually shin splint and something worse.
