Default Laminectomy/Leg pain & Leg Wasting
6 weeks post Laminectomy and follow up nerve block and pretty much constant shin and thigh pain. I look at my thigh in the mirror and it is wasting down smaller and smaller. Won't be long at this rate and it will be bone. My left leg is 2 inches smaller than my right. I'm walking fine at normal pace but my gate is awkward if i try to walk quickly. Will be interesting to see if my leg keeps deteriorating with 3 weeks until next MRI and appointment with surgeon.

Sorry to hear this, Phil. Hang on in there until your MRI and Surgeon's appt, hopefully he will have answers.

Phil, I hope that your surgeon comes up with some good ideas.

In the meantime, have a good Christmas - cold beer is always good in moderation and being with family is always good .

I'm sorry to read about how much worse the wasting has become. I also hope you get some answers very soon.

Enjoy your time with your family.
I hope you have good weather too.

Dear Phil,
I hope you're not anywhere near Lorne on your holiday down in Victoria. Such shocking news this morning with the fires there. Please drop in if you can and let us know that you're all safe and well.
