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.
When my friend's mood is getting off, I try to convince him but he used to getting more angry with this, what should I do ? My all effort had gone fail when I try to convince him. I am so fed up with this?
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???
I went abroad to Holland and done a fair bit of walking (around 5-6miles) within 24hrs. My feet were aching and I did continue to walk on them while away. Last night my largest toes on both feet were completely numb for around 12hrs now in left with extremely painful feet although I do feel as though I should ache but not to this extent
For the past five days the area on the top of my left foot next to my fourth toe has been numb. Movement of my foot and ankle etc is normal. I had a bruise on my left knee but it has mostly faded, I have just moved house so it's possible I injured that leg carrying furniture but don't remember. I work at a desk and have long term upper back pain.
