had fifth back surgery last week. Last dec had fusion at L4L5 with discectomy due to compression on exiting nerve. my pain continued as it did prior to surgery. there was no change in pain even though dr had found a piece of disc 5 centimeter in length by 1 mm to 5cm in width on nerves. it was recently found that there was still a far lateral flattening of the L4 nerve, partial disc and scar tissue-it was removed. questions
His think if the full discectomy was done which used to press the nerve, then after decompression your pain should have disappeared gradually. But as, yet you have pain you should try with short course of steroid along with methylcobalamine and pregabalin tablets for temporary solution and should get a fresh MRI lumbar spine with whole spine screening done...then consult good spine surgeon. Get well soon. Thank you.
