How much walking will I be able to do in the days/weeks following an LIS procedure?
I developed sciatica as a result of being fairly couch bound for the last three months or so due to fissure pain, and walking for as much of the day as possible is one of the best therapies for sciatica. I was not shy about signing up for LIS a few weeks ago because I wasn't able to walk all that much because of the fissure anyway. But over the last few weeks I actually seem to have improved a lot and the fissure hasn't stopped me from walking at all.
So I'm considering canceling, especially if the surgery means I'll be immobilized for several days. I just don't like that I'd be one bad fissure flare up from desperately regretting a cancellation. I will be discussing this with my doc but just thought I'd get the reactions of you fine folks first.
