Glad to hear you're home.Hope your recovery continues to progress as well as it seems to have so far,but don't "over stretch it"no matter how frustrating it may be at the time.

Just a quick update... Progress is good and I've managed about 16 steps without crutches this evening. Moving between positions is still agony but getting easier. Generally very good recovery thus far!

Oh... And little LD seems to be on the mend too

good news

Ah, good, I was just about to text you.


Amazing recovery I'd say. How long do you think until your better than your pre op pain level? I'm presuming its difficult to tell so far?

Sorry, by that I mean, tell the difference between pain from the op, and pain from the previous injury?

I hope youve learned you lessons about picking up teapots!

Not sure TBH It's a recovery time measured in months - years and I'm guessing that as I'm not allowed to "Bend, Stretch, Lift, Twist or perform Repetitive motions like hoovering/ironing" for 6 weeks that I shouldn't expect too much before then

The improvements are phenomenal at the moment but I have to be realistic... The improvements are going to slow down and become smaller in the not too distant future and that's when I need to remain positive

But to answer your question... Psychologically I'm better than before, I just need to wait and see if I am physically too There are tick boxes at 6 weeks, 6 months, a year, and then another I can't remember. There is still the possibility this could need repeating or that the bone fusion doesn't take or fuses incorrectly or... You get the picture! This treatment is far from over

[chrisgixer]

Gotcha, so all good then.


Although its easy sitting here.

Put it this way... Pre-op I ranked my pain about a 5 on the 1-10 scale (even though, as it has turned out, the nerves were so trapped they were surprised I was walking!) and I currently rank it 6 as a minimum, constant pain, rising to 8-9 at times! And that's with morphine!!!

But... No pain, no gain Besides... It's only pain

Keep positive Paul.........
