Hi Greggg, Thanks for your reply. The leg pain is still there, it just won't go away. They're now sending me to Physiotherapy to see if that will help. Personally, I think there is still a little fragment of disc floating around in there somewhere and irritating the nerve. The surgery took alot longer than expected as some of the fragments were hard to find so I've been told. They had to do quite a bit of digging around. I go back to see surgeon in a few months.

Your surgeon sounds alot like mine. He didn't mention anything about nerve function during the surgery, I'll be sure to ask him when I see him next. I'm kind of disappointed with the results - I'd hoped for some kind of relief from the leg pain. Did you have further surgery to see if that would help? That's another option that's been mentioned to me, but I'm not too keen on that.

Thanks again
