Hi im new here.
I had a C5 discectomy on the 27th September this year after having terrible pain for the last 10 years.I have had Epidural's with not success and procedures where they tried to burn the nerve endings to try trick the brain from sending pain signals this was absolute torture and no relief.I am still in pain and still on the same medication which i was realling hoping to not have to take again.I still have the same pain and now the added pain from the surgery which became infected that has now cleared .The day after my surgery i had a very numb right thigh which after 3 days turned to pain even the touch of my clothes is sore and i can not put weight on it so at the moment i am worse off. Has anyone else had this problem?
