I wanted to thank everyone at Dr. Paine's office including the Dr. Himself. Your staff is so friendly and caring. I was in pain for a year and a half. He did not rush me into surgery and told me I should do everything else before considering surgery. Ultimately I decided to go forward with surgery since nothi g was working. I have to say the first 3 days was very painful after surgery and thought I had made a horrible mistake. But by day 4 the pain was becoming less. I had a microdisectomy of the L5 and was crushing my S1 sciatica. I'm 6 weeks post op and I feel so much better. I am able to stand,walk and do things I was unable to do for a long while. I still have some sciatic pain when i move my left leg the wrong way but nothing like it was. I have some nerve damage but that will take some time to heal. I'm only taking muscle relaxers at this point when I over due it. I'm happy I don't have to go to pain management anymore because nothing they were doing was given me any long term relief. You are in good hands with Dr. Paine and his wonderful staff.
