Hi ~ I would SUSPECT that this is still post-surgery swelling and nerves trying to heal. When nerves heal it can be kinda painful. They heal at the average rate of l" per month, so depending on how much he had to do, I would suspect that in a short time, this should ease up. You've been thru alot of trauma, and with this kind of surgery, it takes awhile to heal. I've heard other patients say that they weren't TOTALLY 100% until up to a year!! But I doubt you'll take that long since you had just 2 levels.
Try to be patient, and if this doesn't ease up in a reasonable length of time, MAKE the surgeon do something. I would hope he wouldn't have to do anything, but you shouldn't have to endure such pain for much longer. I hope you have pain meds to help!!!! Best of luck, and God bless. Hugs, Lee
