I have had 3, ya 3 lamenectomies at L4-5 and this was 20 plus years ago knock on wood no problems I am now 49, have faith in your neuro surgeon and stay in shape and don't go to fast with the rehab listen to your body walking is great on level ground the numbness in leg or foot will go away in time.
my first disc ruptured @ 18 yr old in bed for 8 months then the story goes from there.
new technology and time to heal you'll be fine good luck !!!
and don't forget to tell the dr. that put's you to sleep to give the sleep syrup SLOW it's the best part of the whole thing
