I've been through more tests (bending xrays, emg), more steroids, PT, and have been back to the neurosurgeon. I've not had the intense pain recently, but have lower leg numbness and weakness. The surgeon was more concerned about the weakness, and has recommended a diskectomy done as an outpatient procedure. Has anyone here had a second diskectomy done at the same level? Am I just looking at more trouble?

Thanks,

Kay
