: I'M 38 AND JUST HAD SURGERY TO REMOVE A PART OF THE HERNIATED DISC AT L5.I ALSO HAVE DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE,AND SPINAL STENOSIS.ANYONE WITH SAME PROBLEMS COULD YOU WRITE AND LET ME KNOW YOUR EXPERIENCES.IT'S ONE WEEK SINCE SURGERY.WILL I EVER GET THE FEELING BACK IN MY LEG AND FOOT? WHAT IS MY OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE?THANKS MARY

I was 90% paralyzed after a fall two yrs ago, learned afterwords that I had spinal stenosis which caused my problem. Within a few months I was able to walk again..so you are just at the beginning of your recovery. The first month is the slowest, most difficult.
