a10cowgirl asked:


I had a spinal fusion 6 months ago to fix an unstable low back (Spinal Stenosis). I had horrible pains down my legs due to the Sciatic nerve being pinched and I could barely walk. The nerve is free now and I have no pain going down my leg anymore. However, I do still have a lot of back pain in my low back. I’m wondering if I can continue to do nursing. The constant bending is aggravating my back pain so bad I have to take pain meds to keep going. How do you cope with this problem? Any real help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I now have a titanium cage with side rods in my low back screwed into three vertebrae. My low back is fixed because of all the metal in it. I can’t in anyway bend where the cage is implanted.

jmg256 asked:


I am having surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (L-5 region) in about three weeks, I live alone and live on a 3rd floor walk-up, after the surgery about how long will I be able to perform normal activities (go up and down stairs) and be able to go back to work? Also I am in incredible pain when walking and standing, will this usually be corrected after surgery? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
