Well it's been 7 mos. since my L5-S1 partial discectomy/laminectomy. It's been a long road to feeling for the most part normal again. I'm back at work and back to puttering around the house and yard (albeit carefully). For the most part, I'm pain free now. Occasionally my lower back aches bad (generally telling me that I'm overdoing it) or I get some foot pain. For example, in the last couple of weeks I've had a burning pain at the back of my heel when I extend my foot towarRAB my body while standing (not sitting). Not sure if it's sciatic or not but sure does hurt - not that deep nerve pain but more like a torch on my skin. That's about it. I try to do a short set (5 mins.) of stretching once or twice a day to keep things loosened up. Hope things continue to improve.
