I just needed some advice please. I had a lumbar disectomy L3-L4 & L4-L5 just 7 weeks ago. I am back to work fulltime. I sat at my desk yesterday for many hours and when I tried to get up my back went into spasm pulling my ribcage (right side) and making me walk funny. It radiated to my lower back and felt like burning. I took a hot bath and that eased the muscles and also on voltaren.

I feel better today but still walking a bit funny.

Is this a reherniation? When I had herniated discs this happened all the time. I spoke to my surgeon and he said it is not a reherniation, but I don't understand then what it is. How do you know if you reherniate anyways?

Thank you!
