Anybody out there have a hemilaminectomy? [View all]

I will be having one end of January. Have to wait due to having a steroid injection in my spinal area which did not help one bit. Doc said he can offer me a hemi and I said yes. My leg pain is horrible and I can't walk more than 40 steps or so. This has been since last March and is just getting worse. I am exhausted. TIA for any replies.
