If only one area is numb, I do exercise the other ones (stretches, foot curls, etc.), but sometimes most of my body is going through it so I don't do anything. It's a long 6 weeks . . .
Movement is rough. I spent 4 days laying down, not comfortably, but laying flat on my back. I went from one couch to the other to my bed to the computer to check for work and "lurk" and/or post on here to back to the couch . . . I was so thrilled when I could sit up for a little bit. Big sigh of relief.

Again, 4 to 6 weeks is a pretty good prediction as that is what I have experienced in the past with this thing. It is a slow healing process.
