So Friday morning I had the surgery.
Laminecktomy disectomy( however you spell
it) on my L5S1. I was hospitalized until
Monday afternoon because of severe
pain..however, even with the post surgery
pain I have, I am walking up straight. I
cannot even remember the last time I stood
up straight. I am walking! The pain in the
leg is dramatically less intense. It is so
amazing. I am SO HAPPY I decided to have
the surgery and my doctor by FAR IS THE
MOST AMAZING SPINE doctor. I have heard
nothing but success stories from him, and
now I see why! Dr Castellvi in Tampa
Florida!

Hello Somethingserious,
FANTASTIC news that your surgery was a
success and that you can, even with your
post surgery pain, celebrate that you can
now walk up straight. That the pain in
your leg is so much less. You are most
fortunate to have had a very skilled back
surgeon.
I hope and pray that your recovery is
successful and enables you to ENJOY LIFE
once again.
