spine decompression surgery 7 plus weeks post

[Guest guest]

Hi all -

I am now 7 weeks post L2-S1 Laminectomy and Foramenotomy and doing well, still

have no BLT restriction and I had wound issues, as my body rejected some of the

sutures...at 6 weeks the surgeon removed a suture and now it appear to be

healing better. I walk everyday now nearing 3/4 miles twice a day. It am still

on pain meds but I am using them less. I have NO SCIATICA! Amen...but still

have the lower back pain and I am wondering why I did not have him go ahead with

the fusion at L2-S1 also..hoping that lessens, and gets better as I get

stronger... any comments or suggestions especially from anyone who has had

similar surgery is welcomed! Thanks and hoping you all are doing well and are

having pain free time!!
