Hi,
I did not received a AD. I was confused at first about my surgery.
Doctor performed a dynamic stabilization (posterior, interspinous) with disc removed.
out of the hospital next day after surgery, walking by myself.
some sporadic pains in different parts. doctor told me this was normal due to nerve been damaged by compression. pains went away in less than 3 weeks, these pains were not constant.
back to work in 2 weeks, only desk job nothing hard on my back.
PT started yesterday march 10th, to reduce a muscle spasm that still there but it is not causing any pain, and to have more flexibility in the surgery area. little pain after PT nothing major, only mild medication for pain as preventive measure.
Thank God I feel great and pain free!!
here is some info on procedure:
