Funny watching someone who didn't just have surgery make the movements looks so easy. Now try doing it all while being in excruciating pain.

Thank you for sharing..very important information for fast healing...day 7 into recovery. No more pain relievers...no more excruciating pain from my buttocks to my feet. Suffered 10 yrs on and off. But last 3 yrs was unbearable, couldn't work. Stretches, Jesus shot, numerous chiropractor visits once a week. Acupuncture, numerous back gadgets, belts, to no avail...my pain now is very minimal..Thanks be to God...

Lord I wish I’d found this before my surgery. I’ve more than likely made my recovery more difficult because I had NO idea of how to get in and out of my bed, or the car, or a chair for that matter. Crossing my legs were impossible the first 2 weeks after surgery, what I would have given to have a tool to help me get dressed and not be dependent on my family. Shame on my doctor for not preparing me for after surgery, “don’t pick up anything over 5 pounds, and don’t bend at the waste” is not enough information. I’m upset at what I personally went through but I hope others benefit from your wonderful series. Honestly, if they’re not going to give us the right I nfo at least guide us to your series. Again, this is great wish I’d seen it 4 weeks ago.

1 year after a spine fusion surgery (L2-S1) and suffered from a partial foot drop. Upon discharge, I was given a whole PT treatment plan and that was a huge help. I have adapted and found ways to do things with the limitations I now have. The most useful tool is the grabber so I don’t have to bend to pick up things on the ground. I use my cane to snag things higher than me.

The model performing the movements does not have back pain and is thin. I'm 5 10, 240lbs and I already get in and out of bed this way, but lifting my bodyou up to sit is difficult. And I can't lift my foot up to put 9n socks. I stand, rotate, and sit down on my knee to force my foot up.
I wish you'd use and variety of models of represent all of us.

I remember going through this after surgery for almost a month. It was hell for me.

I had the op done 28 years ago when I was 17, I am now 45 and I had to sit for 2 and a half hours and had none of this and was told a walking stroller was the worst thing to use. I had my mum help me get dress and was told never cross my legs. And had no exercise to do apart from walking to the shops and back.

You should create a series of videos for hospitals to purchase and play prior to being released from the hospital. Ironically many of these things have NEVER been discussed at ant of my 4 spine surgeries. I would be willing to pay $10 out of pocket for the video just to have success just once. I never received a follow up care booklet, phamplet, or any literature. My surgeon ONLY says limitations verbally "lift equal to a gallon of milk or less". Guess he assumes he might be caught up in a disability case (obviously opposes people who would need it). Also I am not involved in a lawsuit or employee comp case, so I don't understand why he refuses to be a tad more informative. I have been told non of restrictions from the video? (3rd lumbar fusion with 2 Failed Back Surgeries) Why? Yet when asking my Spine Surgeon straight out my limitations are or what to avoid his response is "I need to go check your chart, have an emergency as he directly finds it necessary to cut my release and follow-ups short, etc. Basically he says anything to avoid answering that specific question after EVERY surgery I've had with him. Also he never states anything in his notes or dictations. Seems crazy to me?! Possibly he is not ethical for lack of better words. Also he is the only Spine surgeon within a 3 hr round-trip from me. My choice of a different Physician is nearly impossible since I can not drive due to "severe" Narcolepsy. Add chronic 24 he non-stop pain & lack of sleep - makes a Narcolepsy person somewhat similar to an intoxicated driver as far as being able to drive safely . I do not have any family in the area nor have made any friends since we moved to this small rural town. Public transportation is unheard of in the area. I spoke to my Pastor and even he posted a need for ride assistance in the bulletin 4 wks (I am willing to pay someone), also advertised in the local newspaper and on Facebook Sale, Swap, Employment sites - did not get 1 response. Rural Healthcare access in America is pitiful. No Spine Doctor even has a 1x a month clinic at the local 5 Hospitals 30 min in ea direction. That profession must have a shortage or not want to serve small rural areas? Anyone thinking of moving to Podunk Nowhere with health issues - DON'T DO IT you will regret the decision. Something simple like these folks offer wpuld really save multiple surgeries and help one heal properly. Kudos to you for taking your time to produce this video informing those of us who lack a decent Doctor.

I'm confused as to how people don't know how to logroll in bed or get out of bed or get in/out of a car. I had to do multiple sessions of physical therapy prior to insurance even considering an SI injection. This is always taught. And for anyone going through SI pain surely this is common sense. People always watch me get in an out of vehicles and I always explain I'm disabled not nuts.

Grabbers, back scratchers, shoe horns, they even have tools to help you get your socks on. I'm 8 days post op and when I came home I had to figure out how to scoop poop. My neighbor was taking care of the cats but he wasn't a good poop scooper. I unscrewed my broom handle and duct taped my scoop to the end of it and voila! no bending to scoop poop. I made another one to shovel clean litter from the container to the litter box. I used my crutches as claws and picked up empty cat dishes and put them on the table temporarily as I wasn't using it. The water bowl is there as well. No bending and I'm self sufficient. Plus I get my morning walk in. You don't realize in the begining how much walking that is but it would get rid of the stiffness from sleeping.

I tied a reusable bag around the top of my walker and if I wanted coffee and toast. I'd make coffee put it in a thermos, put the toast in a napkin, both in the bag and walk it to my recliner. It was my biggest worry because while there are people in my life and they say they'll help I know I can't depend on them.

I waited 6 years for this surgery. Nothing was stopping me. And I walk down my stairs like a child for now but if I can have my outdoor life back again, it's all worth it.

Keep in mind that insion site pain is real and it's harder to do these sometimes. Take it slower than the lady cause the insion can split open .
