Dear XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query.
Good to hear that you have got the operation done as in my opinion the problem would not have resolved on its own.
Now answering your questions:
1) Physiotherapy will be the best treatment for any post operative pain. Also some pain killers will add to your comfort.
2) Spinal surgeries can take a month or more to recover completely . But it varies from complexities of operation and also person to person. Again physiotherapy and good nursing care will help you recover faster.
3) If your urine is smelling bad i suggest you to get a urine routine and culture sensitivity done as it could be an subclinical bacterial infection which needs to be treated.
Feel free to ask any further queries.
