Post-op follow up with Dr. Khachatryan today. He commented that the incision looks good, but I have to wait 2 more weeks before beginning pool running. I can start the elliptical or biking next week! No impact (i.e. running) until May to give the annulus tear time to heal and close-up. He told me I've already lost about 30% of my nucleus or disc, so I don't want to risk more. My visits with him are done--now its just a waiting game for healing. |
