This process is not just physical, it is very much so emotional and at times devastating and grueling, but we all get to learn more about our resilience each day. I am still living with sciatic pain running down my left leg, but finally exercising again and feeling positive. I would say the surgery improved my pain by about 30%. Not a fantastic result, but definitely grateful for my doctors. They 100% did the best they could. Remember that your body is like nobody else's, don't give up and be kind to yourself always. We all know how difficult this is even though we're on different journeys. Sending love and hugs this holiday season!
