My daughter had the surgury in Sept. for the herniation of her l5-s1. Although it was scary, when it was over the pain that shes had since July when the accident was, was gone! it took a good 4 weeks recovery, but she is doing p.t. 3 times a week and is doing great!

That's Great to Hear Penni!! Most of the Time the L5/S1 Microdiscectomy is Very Successful, I had never had Surgery before, and didn't know My Body Produces Excess Scar Tissue. My S1 Nerve Root was Crushed, and the Scar Tissue Encapsulated the Nerve, leaving it Crushed for Life!! I Love to Hear when a Surgery Goes Great, and My Very Best to Your Daughter!!
