I had microdiscectomy on L4/L5 and L5/S1 12 days ago and the surgery went well. The only problem is that the sciatic nerve pain down my left leg has not gone away. I am a little surprised by this and getting frustrated. I was hoping to be off of pain meds and anti-inflammatory by now but I cant get through the day without them. I know it takes time but I just want to get on with my life and be pain free again.
Can anyone share their own experiences? Thanks for any replies.
