Now I am into my seventh week post-op and have just about thrown away my cane, though first thing in the morning I feel a bit stiff from sleeping on my back [still] I cannot in all honestly say that I am glad I had it done, yet, but I am getting there much quicker than I would have believed possible in the first weeks.<br />I had an epidural [with sedation] and it was fine and I think better than the general anesthetic which can be dangerous. Do your excersizes and soon you will be as good as new.
