What is the typical recovery period like for lumbar disc replacement? How long are you on pain meds? Are you able to sleep fairly well? Did you have debilitating leg cramps, and when did they stop? Did your leg twitching stop, if you had it prior to surgery? When are you able to go back to work if you have a desk job? Was the international flight home miserable? I am just trying to prepare myself mentally for this next step as I am pretty sure my neurosurgeon is going to say fusion when I see him on the 9th. I don't tolerate Gabapentin, NSAIDS, or Opoids very well so it's going to be a tough road for me. 1920s vintage inspired garment for cocktail party
