3 month update 2 level LP-ESP and Kypoplasty
I was limited to 10 lbs for first 3 month and now am at 25lb for at least the next 3. They say it takes a full 6 months from bone to grow into implant and reach full strength.
I finally started back to work part time from a standing desk on Sunday June 4,2017. On Sunday I went about 3 hours before back pain reached a 4 and I moved to zero gravity chair to finish the last hour my 4 hour day. For the last two days pain was a 2-3 after a couple hours and I was able to stand for my 4 hours shift. My sitting tolerance has improved as well. I can easily sit for a dinner out with friends pain does go up to a 4 after sitting 30-45 minutes but a short walk to bathroom and back allows me to sit for another 30 minutes. I haven't experienced any sciatica pain in the last couple of weeks.
