i had surgery for a herniated disk at the
l4-l5 level 4 weeks ago and am still
having back and leg pain. My doctor put
me back on oral steroids, which helped for
the week I was taking them, but as soon as
I quit taking the pills, the pain came
back. I am suppose to start pt in a
couple week, but am afraid that will make
it worse.
Am I expecting too much too soon after
surgery. I thought after the surgery the
leg pain was suppose to be gone.
I hear of people having to have the
surgery a second time. Which I really
don't want to do.
Has any one had disk replacement or heard
anything about it?

Hi trumanpocket ~
what kind of surgery did you have? Was
it a discectomy? I have a lot of
information about adr. What are you
looking for? I see you are from madison.
Is the wi? If so I am also from wi but
farther south of madison.
Shirl :d

I had a lumbar decompression 4 days ago
and I am experiencing burning buttocks and
numbness in the left thigh. What type
medications are you taking. I am told by
Doc that it is because I had a left bad
disk replaced.
