Remember the couldn't pee guy 9 months ago. Update!

So I first wanna apologize about the late update post. I wanted to take some time and see how life would be. welp I gotta say its been amazing. Ill try to keep this brief and such.

What happened. Basically a month in a half of pain and suffering with less then an hour a sleep of day. My MRI got schedule about 6 weeks out.. and I was in agony.. well The pain got so bad I couldn't pee.. it would take about 20 minutes to relieve my bladder fully. Eventually I didnt pee for like 24 hours and I thought. ER time.

Fast foward MRI at the ER and finally peed some after the lady nursed threatened to stick a catheter up my Pikachu. Then they decided they wanted to get me into surgery sooner then later. 2 days later I was under the knife.

Microdisectomy. Surgery went well. but post up sucked. it was still painful. the pain from my leg and foot were was gone. but the surgery spot ouch. They drugged me with everything. What finally worked was changing positions. I went into surgery at 6am. I was out of the hospital by 8pm.

Drive home I was on drugs.

The next 3 days were very painful in my back. Very Stiff. I Fell once getting out of bed.

Luckily Im blessed with an amazing wife.

Also I didnt eat anything for like 4 days cause I was scared of pooping cause I didn't know how I was gonna wipe.

About day 4 I was able to walk some and move and the pain started to fade.

Day 10 the severe pain was gone and the ache of an open surgery site healing set it. The pain turned to itching lol which is a sign of healing

Because they took out a piece of my back, muscle, spine to get to the hernia, I wasn't allowed to lift anything for months.

I gained about 30lbs. It took a bit to get to walking and such.

I'll be honest being crippled for a month in a half followed by not being able to do shite for 2 months i fell into depression. it sucked.

During this time though I Got my dream job. work from home gig. and yeah its incredible. It helped bring me out of depression. Weird how God use a job to help motivate me but yeah. But didnt help with the weight gain lol

After a month I began moving more walking 4 or miles a day trying to get active again. lots of muscle atrophy. but no leg pain!!

2 months I finally lifted my sweet little girl and held her. There is no joy that can explain that feeling after not being able to hold her for months.

Fast foward about 6 months I still noticed weird sensations time to time in my foot and two Lil toes.

I began to notice those toes couldn't move anymore. saw the neurosurgeon again about. possible permanent nerve damage from living with the hernia for so long. saw a foot specialist he agreed. And said in about 20 years it will be a problem but for now nothing we can do.

Anywho 9 months into it and I can run, dance, sleep, piss, be intimate, and im 100% pain free!

Long story short Surgery worked for me. I know a lot of folks are hesitant about it.. but know the longer you live with Sciatica, the more likely something is gonna be permanently damaged. So do something about it. Dont try to be tough or just bare it or let someone say oh it isnt that bad. Sciatic Nerve is no joke and Herniated Discs on it can ruin your life. Take care of yourself!

Anywho this concludes my tale. Good Luck and Godspeed.
