I actually have pain throughout my entire body but the doctors said I can only chose my arms or legs. I chose my legs/lower back since that is where the pain originated from and is the worst. Can you tell me the recovery period you had? i.e. time off of work, when did you start walking, driving, etc. Any info as to what I can expect after the surgery is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!
