Pain Much Better, Doesn't Radiate

Since my back surgery the pain is a lot better in my legs. I still have lower back pain, but it is more centralized to one area and does not radiate as it did before surgery down my legs. The pain is in the lower part of my back over to the right hip. By afternoon it is where I have to lay down but still better than before. I still have movements that hurt like bending and lifting and stairs. It makes me wonder if the nerve is damaged from being pinched so long from before I saw Dr. McCord. I have to change positions a lot because of the back pain. I am unable to stand or sit for any length of time because of the pressure in lower part of my back. Hoping with time this improves. 02/09/2017
