Well, we are all feeling a lot more positive this week! Nick has managed full days at school and he has been back on court a few times. He also says that he feels like he is improving, which is fantastic.
11 weeks post op summary
- School. Managing full days at school, although he does feel sore by the end of the day and needs to lie down when he gets home.
- Tennis. Doing gentle hitting for about 20 minutes once every two/three days. Feels general muscle ache afterwards but nothing worse. Coach commented today that Nick is moving much better post microdiscectomy compared to post nerve decompression.
- Physio exercises. No change on the 9 weeks programme except we have added bridging back in. His pelvic tilts are definitely improving.
- Sports massage. Had another this week and although tougher this time it still seemed to help, though not as much as the previous occasion.
- Muscles. Muscles not feeling tight.
- Sciatic pain. Not getting any :-)
- Sitting. Not brilliant, but managing lessons at school.
- Posture. Improving, especially when he's not thinking about it. Interesting psychological point there.
- Straight leg raise. Same - 60 degrees one side, 90 degrees other.
- Emotions. Much, much better. Seems more like his former self - positive, motivated, cheerful and generally much better.
So, you can see why I started with 'feeling a lot more positive'. I am now starting to look forward to improvements, rather than worrying about any lack of improvements.
