Thank you all for your replys. Everyday I can feel small changes but I just wish I had a crystal ball and could see when the pain will start to ease up. I am very pleased I am not suffering with any distraction pain, I didn't really think I would have any as I had great disc height. I went out for dinner last night for the first time since surgery, I feel that was quite an acheivement at 11 days post op, we were only out for an hour, still great progress. Can anybody else tell me how long it took to really feel that their adr surgery worked?
Thanks,
