I had a discectomy on Tuesday and was under the impression before surgery that my pain would be gone immediately - that either the surgery worked or it didn't and I would know when I got up. That is not the case. I have the same pain, in addition to the pain at my incision. I am feeling very discouraged that it didn't work and am wondering if it just needs more time. Please tell me what your opinion is because frankly I am very discouraged but hopeful that the information I thought was correct was not and it is just a matter of time and me being patient and allowing my body to heal.
Hi I saw your post and although it's been some years now since you had your surgery I just wondered if you recoverd and thought that your surgery had been worthwhile.
