Post surgery update: It’s been (almost) a week. The doctors said surgery went well! I obviously have no recollection of any of it. So crazy that someone is wheeling me in to the operating room and talking to me, and then all of the sudden I’m out cold with no memory of anything until 4 hours later. I didn’t even make it to the operating room haha.

Anyway, I was told that it went really well and everything was smooth. I’ve been drugged up so at first it’s hard to tell if things worked, but I can say that there definitely has been some immediate pain relief of the actual sciatic nerve, which is fantastic! I’ve walked over a mile each of the last 4 days with little to no pain, which is something I’ve not been able to do in the past year. So pretty awesome. It’s not all perfect though. Yesterday did hurt when I went on my walk. I think all and all, the nerve is still healing (it’s been pinched and bugged for over a year now), and it is entirely normal for some weird pains and numbness/tingling. So I’m being patient. But overall super happy and hopeful!

Now, it’s just about letting it heal (no lifting, twisting or bending for the next 6 weeks +), walking a lot, and being patient with the healing process. ☺️
