Hi chelk, get well soon. relax. Don't push your recovery. If you get spasms which many of us do after this surgery, ask for Soma, in conjunction with your pain medication. This will stop the spasms and allow for better healing. Glad your surgery is over. I too had some tingling in my fingers and hands, this did go away for me. I wish you all the best as you move forward in your life. NT and of course I am with you 100%, Just be good to yourself now. ginnie
