What Causes Severe Pain In Leg Post Discectomy?
Hello, I had my l3,4, & 5 discectomy and two nerves burnt on 2/27/15. I was unable to walk without dragging my leg behind me for over 8 days. I now can walk but with a limp and the pain in my left leg is so bad that it wakes me up in tears every single night. I can t drive my car as its a stick shift and my job is 1.5 hours away. I have been walking every day as much as I can and doing a resistance band therapy on my foot to get sensation back. What do I do to stop this pain I can t do this anymore Brit

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, and looking to the disease that you have such pain is very common, and this can be managed with any NSAID but most important is to bear the pain as hard as you could because this may give such long analgesic effect that can not be have with medicines, some time physiotherapy may be the way out there, hope this information helps, take care.
