Guest guest Posted October 19, 1999 Report Share Posted October 19, 1999 I am 43 and my symptoms just started I believe 2 years ago. I asked my neuo the same thing and he said that is common. I am curious as to why your surgeon wants you off work so long. I had the same surgery as you. I had complications and was in ICU for 6 days before going to the floor but my surgeon still said I could go back to work 2 weeks after getting out of the hospital. I chose not to just because I was on short term disability and it was just easier to not have to do all the paper work again since I had to have a tumor removed from my spine 6 weeks after the decompression surgery. I just went back to work 2 weeks ago from my back surgery. I worked 17 hours of overtime last week without any problems except that my back is still hurting a lot. I am glad I went back because I was getting depressed at home. There was just too much emphasis on ME there. Debbie T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
