Dear Maria,
Just had a laminectomy L4-6 w/ complications (preforated dural sac). I finally feel my age, and the reality of life w/o hockey/snowboarding is adding depression to an already difficult recovery. What is also different, is I can’nt fight back, obsessed in PT as in my past injuries. I plan to Dosages Of Ambien 20mg see my Surgeon this Fri to remove staples and want to Dosages Of Ambien 20mg ask about “static, or isometric” exercizes to do meanwhile. Do you Dosages Of Ambien 20mg think this sounds reasonable, or do all I have to Dosages Of Ambien 20mg look fwd to is working my guitar chops for 4-6 wks while I do nothing (hopefully healing).
Hi Joe,
Hmmm – never like to hear about folks having back surgery. Sounds like you are doing the right things though – seeing a physio and being diligent with it. Since I am Dosages Of Ambien 20mg not in anyway familiar with your case or the details of your Dosages Of Ambien 20mg surgery it would be foolish of me to give you Dosages Of Ambien 20mg advice on specifics. However, here is my general advice – since you Dosages Of Ambien 20mg are only at the stage where your staples are not even out yet, it Dosages Of Ambien 20mg sounds like the surgery was pretty recent. All you Dosages Of Ambien 20mg can do is give your body an optimal environment for Dosages Of Ambien 20mg healing the tissue that has been majorly insulted by the Dosages Of Ambien 20mg invasive surgery which over time will make the structures stronger, but right now it Dosages Of Ambien 20mg is an acute injury. There are Dosages Of Ambien 20mg no exercises that will help the tissue to heal faster so if your Dosages Of Ambien 20mg physio and doc want you to keep still, keep still, if they want you Dosages Of Ambien 20mg to yodel, then yodel. You get the idea. When I worked in a Dosages Of Ambien 20mg sport med clinic we would see patients who basically ruined the Dosages Of Ambien 20mg surgical repair or set back their recovery by doing more than Dosages Of Ambien 20mg they were supposed to do in the immediate post-op phase because they “felt pretty good”. You need to be really careful in the initial phase. When your Dosages Of Ambien 20mg physio feels the time is right, they may be able to Dosages Of Ambien 20mg give you some isometric transversus abdominus (deep core) work that will feel like nothing – but it Dosages Of Ambien 20mg is very important so when the time comes take that stuff seriously.
I would also ask your Dosages Of Ambien 20mg PT and your Ortho what type of activity will be appropriate for Dosages Of Ambien 20mg you following your recovery. Every situation is Dosages Of Ambien 20mg different and maybe you will need to move on from hockey and Dosages Of Ambien 20mg snowboarding, but that does not mean you need to be inactive.
Have fun with the guitar for the next little while – maybe you can learn Stairway to Heaven!!! (this is a total joke – I get the feeling you are well beyond this)
Keep me posted on your recovery.
Cheers,
maria
