“Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me. Today I got a laminectomy! It’s a short recovery and when I’m feeling better I will buy a bra!” Amy captioned the photo of herself standing with the help of a walker. In the photo, Amy is rocking a comfortable post-surgery outfit of a sweater and pair of colorful sweatpants.
Mayo Clinic says that a laminectomy, the procedure Amy says she underwent, removes the back arch of a spinal bone. This procedure makes the spinal canal larger, relieving pressure on one’s nerves or spinal cord.
