I am a lifelong horse person and also a competative runner. It's been just under 8 weeks for me, and like you, much better after surgery, but can't wait to get back to horses and running How are you doing now?

In 2008 I had a severe injury to the same disc causing a fully herniated disc. I had the same left foot symptoms and leg too. My right side hurt down the center of the buttock to upper thigh. I have a fusion and symptoms lessened but I still have issues. I also fractured my t12 and it causes chest and rib pain. I hope you recover fully and don't suffer anymore. I still have 5 bulging discs and a log way to go.

I had a slippage of +2 and was developing major nerve damage in my left leg and foot.<br /><br />Although I still have pain from surgery, my back feels way better! I literally feel myself standing straight, which is so weird! <br /><br />I am very happy I finally got it corrected!Shiloh Horse Rescue and Sanctuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183538105451752651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2674146881914421516.post-71749187792157898752012-02-02T12:20:23.949-08:002012-02-02T12:20:23.949-08:00Thanks for the update Jill!
