What Could Cause Severe Pain In Hip After Having Microdiscectomy L4/5 And L1/S1?
Hello. I had a microdisectomy 8.5 weeks ago. L4/5 and L1/S1. Very tight in buttock area and tightness in left hamstring. The terrible pain before the surgery is gone. My hips have been hurting very much when sleeping. I have to flip from side to side every hour in order to sleep. The pain is not only in the hip I am laying on but the other one also. Any thoughts?

If i understand correctly you are reffering to a pain behind hip joint assuming it is hip pain
hip joint pain comes as a spot pain in front or at the side of hip joint
you are refering to what we call sacroiliac joint disfunction , start walking in place for 5 min pain will improve even go away completely
this is normal after being pain free you are regaining normal alignment , do daily jogging exercise multiple times a day you will be fine
Good Luck
