I returned to full time work in 6 weeks, I do HR analysis work which requires sitting all the time. I do get to work from home for I hope another three months, no way I could go into an office. I have to lay down often during the day with my laptop and work. My muscles back there seem to be so out of whack. The surgery was great, no nerve issues no radiating pain none of the symptoms pre surgery. I am an avid exerciser so all this muscle pain has me frustrated. Thanks everyone your comments help me feel so not alone, unless you've been through it you can't understand. I have been feeling so disconnected even though I tell myself it's only been 12 weeks... I feel like a big whimp?

Oh, a sneeze-it ended it all. I had to learn to sneeze a whole new way and then just started taking an allergy pill daily so I wouldn't sneeze. Gosh, it helps to know others get something like this. My family just thinks I'm rambling or exaggerating.

I had to lower all of my standards. I hated laying, not cleaning, sitting here and seeing dust, etc. but it's not worth it. After going through this surgery you certainly want to heal properly. It drags at first, but before you know it it's months more down the road and you will notice each week you can do something a little better or that you couldn't do at all before. Find joy in the littlest things. When I could put on a sock myself I was so happy. When I could shave my own legs-hooray. Any up/down say llike on the toilet or chair without horrible pain, I'd pray and thank God literally.
