First, let me start with telling you my back pain isn't that bad and mechanically speaking, my back is doing well, considering I have had 3 surgery's.
My leg pain: From day one post-Op, I have been dealing with a heavy dull pain (opposite of sciatic pain). I can not stand for more than a few minutes and sitting for extended periods can also be hard. It feels like I'm wearing heavy ankle weights (like 20 LB's). My pain is a pulling heavy ache, as opposed to the electrical shock feeling. My legs and feet also get cold with pins and needle feel. I have never had issues with cold feet Pre-Op.

You will need a lot of patience and a lot of time to get better. You will have feelings and sensations you have never felt before before. Be sure to take your meds you've been prescribed to keep everything in check. You will be fine.
