I had the op last year as I had sciatica for about 2 years and was in alot of pain. My entire life had stopped. I was a soccer player and had to give it all up because of the pain. I was addicted to my painkillers also but needed them to get any sleep. Like many I was in such a bad situation that I thought that the op couldnt make it any worse.I went for the op in May 2001. I had the op on the Monday morning and was in a bit of pain but I didnt care cause there was no more pain in my legs it had gone completely. I had the op on the Monday and was walking(slowly) by the tuesday morning. I walked and showered myself on the wednesday and climbed stairs and was allowed home on the Thursday. The doc said six to 8 weeks recovery time ad by week 7 i was on Holiday in Spain and jumping into a swimming pool. On week 9 I was in the gym and started playing soccer by october. It has tottally changed my Life its so good having no pain in my leg 24/7. I wont lie the week after the op is hard and at times painful but so worth it.
