DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE, FORAMINA STENOSIS, FAILED BACK SURGERY
I had a
discectomy
surgery in 2016. After the surgery, my back pain got worse and i started having bilateral tingling, pins and needles in both legs this time. I repeated MRI and nothing was seen as the cause of the pins and needles. I was given gabapentine which helped to calm the nerve pain.

I've had Cervical spinal fusion and
discectomy
, bad COVID, pneumonia, chronic pain and cough, since my diaphragm is numb and I can't breath deeply, I'm now incontinent, because I cannot FEEL my urges till it's too late. I can WALK, I've followed all instructions.

has anyone had a repeat
discectomy
and had success with nerve pain reduction? also does anyone else have any suggestions to help with pain relief? I’m slowly weaning my morphine down also.

Why is my incision still draining?
On November 18th I had back surgery, an L3-L4 laminectomy, and an L4-L5
discectomy
. Everything went like clockwork for the first two weeks or so, then the incision started to drain.

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
Had my operation on Wednesday and glad to say that all went well. No complications apart from my blood pressure and oxygen levels in recovery, kept me in there for 6 hours or so. But anyway I’m home now and recovering well. Physio say 3 months recovery and consultant says 7 weeks. I see how I go after

Discectomy
and Fusion surgery to a herniated disc, level C4-C5, with an area of myelomacia (decompressed, but that will stay there forever.

Discectomy Lumbar L5/S1
I’ve had an herniated disc since Christmas L5/S1 and unfortunately have not made much progress. Still in lots of pain etc. The specialist has phoned to say after looking at my MRI it is a large disc that has herniated and after 4 months doesn’t look to be shrinking 🙁 It’s looking like surgery so just

Neuropathy following spinal disc problems
I have a bewildering array of nerve symptoms throughout my whole body following a lumber disc prolapse and subsequent
discectomy
. I get a range of burning / fizzing / freezing / dagger pains in my feet, lower legs, groin, hands, arms, face, internal mouth, throat and chest.

Fizzing sensation all day...
However since my back ‘lockup’ and subsequent
discectomy
6 months ago I have had a bewildering array of what the neurologist calls ‘altered sensations’ mainly in legs but also face and arms . This is fizzing, burning, numbness, cold flushing etc. He has put this all down to rls.

Cauda Equina caused by herniated disk and further complications.
In a recent telephone appointment he indicated that operation not really an option as a
discectomy
is performed for pain relief and this was not offered during my time of excruciating agony! Anyway this is where I need your input.

Has anyone had ACDF/Discectomy & Spinal Fusion Surgery?
Has anyone had this surgery? I’m a potential candidate for this is have large herniated discs in C5-6 & C7-8. My Neurosurgeon said that first option would be a nerve block of pain wasn’t improving (it isn’t) but I feel this would only help pain and wouldn’t sort out the problem itself. I’m a 30 year

Back pain started months after Anterior Cervical Myelopathy Discectomy
I underwent an Anterior Cervical Myelopathy
Discectomy
(C5-C6) in June this year and my recovery seemed to be going well. Within the last month I have started to experience intense pain in my right wrist so have taken to wearing a wrist brace.

Newbie on chronic pain forum. Moved sideways from heart forum.
Since had full
discectomy
L4-L5, with titanium screws and rod. Partial
discectomy
L3-L4. Condition is spreading up and down. Now have chronic pain L5-S1-S2. Including the usual sciatica that accompanies trapped nerves. Basically, my spine is collapsing, with scoliosis to boot.
