9 weeks after microdiscectomy

Been 9.5 weeks since surgery. I'm doing well! I really noticed alot of improvement around week 8, and it seems to be sticking around through working. I've increased my physical therapy exercises to more than just stretching. Stretching seems to be the most effective in relieving the sciatica that appears from time to time. Nothing bad, just a little pain in my SI joint, like I had in 2010, before I knew it was a herniated disc. I attribute this to the fact that that part of my nerve has been irritated for 2.5 years, so it might take a little longer to heal than the rest of my nerve. Physical therapist said 6 months to a year since it had been seriously compressed for 6 months. I'm feeling well enough to think that I may be able to workout again someday! Here's to dreaming!
