Post lumbar discectomy
I had surgery 5 weeks ago. The surgical area feels better but, my lower back is in constant pain and my leg is still numb and painful. The doctor just says everyone is different and the leg pain is the last to go away. I am worried about the lower back pain because I also have a second condition - spondylothesis and herniated discs in lower back. This condition wasn't bothering much before the surgergy now it is constant. The doctor felt that the surgery would relief the majority of my pain which was in the entire leg. Has anyone had their leg pain and numbness continue after surgery? If yes, how long before you felt better. What about pain ocurring in a different part of the back? Can that be from the sugery? The incision is about 5 inches in the middle of my back. Thanks, confused:
