Mr Rudol operated on my spine 6 weeks ago. I had decompression (3/4 and 4/5) and laminectomy (4).
The main symptom of my illness was pain in my thighs, going down into my calves, which severely impacted on exercising. From being a very active person I was reduced to doing no exercise at all.
Since the operation my symptoms have disappeared completely, although I do have a little back pain which is gradually reducing due to me religiously carrying out the exercise programme I was given on leaving the hospital.
I would encourage patients to really stick to the exercise programme (even though you really won’t want to do it when you leave the hospital) and the initial post-operative pain will quickly go.
Next week I start back on my thrice daily 10 minute speed walks (starting with 2 minutes and building up gradually) which I’ve so missed.
So pleased to have had this operation - now filled with optimism.
