Severe lower leg pain
I had a micro
discectomy
about a year ago due to quite a severe prolapse. It left me with nerve damage so the leg was hyper sensitive in parts and numb. But I have been fine pain wise since, and the op was a success.

Reynaud’s
Does it normally accompany any other problems, they all, like me suffer from symptoms of weak back/slipped disc as did my mum too, I’ve had a
discectomy
but now other slightly bulging discs, signs of dehydrated discs and severe narrowing together with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis in all my joints

Back pain
I just wanted some advice if anyone else had a
discectomy
and did not recover as expected. I’m just scared that stopping the morphine will mean I won’t be able to manage anymore. I am also waiting for a response from pip. Sorry for the long post

Big day for me today
Waiting to be taken down to theatre for a
discectomy
and decompression operation.Fingers crossed all goes to plan as I've been in pain with it for 6 years and have no quality of life at the moment.

Root Canal Treatment
I did have a
discectomy
about 4 years ago which solved the problem of the disc pressing on my sciatic nerve but the nerve has never healed and I still suffer pain (more pain, in fact). Could it be that signals to my brain where pain is concerned have gone haywire?

L5 S1 partial discectomy
continue physio and medication which wasn't helping me,a spinal injection which probably wouldn't help as my disc L5s1 is bulging both sides or an operation.I told him I'd like an operation to have a chance of getting a life back as I've been like this for 5 years now,so I'm going to have a partial

Worried about reherniation...
I had a laminectomy
discectomy
on June 12, 2018. Recovery went well except I had severe nerve damage so my recovery was a little slower than expected. On the weekend of my one year anniversary I had a yard sale and picked up a large tote I thought was light, but was indeed heavy.

Extreme sciatica and back spasms
Had back surgery at L4/L5 for sciatica about 2.5 years ago after trying everything in the book to help me,
discectomy
and laminectomy. Hit by drunk...Took awhile but after a year I was back in the gym and living life again. Not pain free but good enough.

A big decision , don't know what to do!
I had a
discectomy
in 2017 on L5 but had complications and 2 more surgeries for a csf leak and spinal sepsis. I'm still in a lot pain and at first they said I need a 2 level fusion but the surgeon changed his mind saying it wouldn't help my pain as it had been there too long.

Cervical myelopathy
I had surgery in October, anterior and posterior
discectomy
, laminectomy and fusion. My prior MRI showed a severe compression plus C3 was sticking out and bent down, hard to explain. The MRI showed spinal cord damage.

CBD OIL - good or bad ?
It is my second second
discectomy
in 8 months. I know the primary cause is my bulging disk but it is the extreme pain on the back of my thighs that is debilitating and wipes me out on every step I take so I thought okay let's try some CBD oil Thanks
