MicroDiscectomy Week 4

Walking - 2 X 20 minutes per day with ease.
Straight Leg Raise: 60 degrees on each leg (it was earlier only 10 degrees on my right leg)
·         Right leg still has some weakness and foot drop as compared to left leg
Side leg raise: Perfect on left leg raise @ 60 degree. Not so perfect on right leg raise @40 degree.
Radiating pain: Absolute ZERO.
Stairs: Climbing up is possible. Climbing down is still cumbersome.
Numbness: still persists on right leg (foot, thigh and buttocks). But, I can feel some improvements here.
Urinary side effects: still persists

Can I walk on my own: YES
Can I sit for longer durations: I believe so, even though I have not tried for more than 30 mins at a stretch


Recovery has been exactly to the book apart from the urinary complication.
