waiting list so long im starting to feel better
hey everyone, would love to hear your opinions on this
I have an L5/S1 herniated disc and I’ve been waiting for surgery (recommended by my specialist) for so long that I’m not in excruciating pain anymore but I’m still limited. Can’t run or ride my bike.
Still waiting on a surgery date through public health, could be another 6+ months, nobody really knows. At this rate I might be fully recovered by the time it comes around…
What worries me though is the flare-ups. I’ve had two occasions where I thought I was back to normal, then the pain came back so hard I couldn’t sleep.
So my question is if I do fully recover, should I still go through with the surgery to avoid future complications? Or does it not make sense if my body’s already healed itself?
