What exactly did your wife do to "over do it?" Was she in bad of shape as you were, ie did she have numbness or just tingling/nerve pain? I ask because i know this will be a concern for me because i am having relapses now because i over did it. I have been feeling better (nerve pain only about once every 2 wks for a few days compared to every day) for the last 6 months, but because i felt "invincible" perhaps i tried went jogging a couple times and then surfed a couple times, and now i have been having nerve pain that has not let up for 3-4 wks. this has been a pattern for the 5 years i have been working stengthing the back I guess i want to really hear that people are able to do the physical things they want to do (w/in reason) after the procedure, and what limits they had to place on themselves.
