Hello, I hope that I can better help you understand your situation. From your symptoms it may be that you may have another disc herniation. While discectomy/laminectomy can help with articular pain, you are more likely to re-herniate because the disc is disrupted at this level. If rest, anti-inflammatory meds, and pain medication are not working, you need to be evaluated by your physician and possibly be treated with steroids and get some current imaging of your spine. I hope this helps.
