I just had a pretty major back surgery and some weird things are happening..Maybe you can give me input?

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat. Just a bit different. I have no answer, just like your doctor. You have to never risk your back, even when the little ones want to be picked up!!! Your emotions will be hurt as well as the kids, but the kids will get over it as they grow older,your BACK wont. Rest and take the meds and adjust your life style. Your back is warning you. I have a L-4,L-5 fusion one year ago and I have charlie horse's up my back and into my neck and much more. So if you ever get right again, never lift anything ever. This includes vigorous activity's as well. Get a MRI to confirm the disk is OK and that the nerves are not pinched. Good luck & God bless!!
