Is it common to have intense pain halfway
down my right leg and calf cramping, even
moving around is very hard to do because I
move any little way left or right if feels
like someone is sticking a knife in my
lower back and it almost takes the wind
out of me.

It is not common to have such intensive
pains if the microdiscectomy was
successful. Microdiscectomy does not help
in 5-10% of treated patients. You may want
to consult the neurosurgeon that operated
on you about this.
