I had a laminectomey on 3,4,5,6 done 6 years ago. In hospital I could not feed myself or itch my nose because my right arm had no motor control. I was told it was the position I was in in OR. It took at least 6 months before I had control, maybe 9 before I was back to normal. I did not do PT.

About a year or so later I went back to have what the ns screwed up fused. I had a bone stimulator, but no PT. Things were fine for 3 years, then got other problems
