I will be having a laminectomy at l4-l5
and a possible fusion. This is being done
because all non invasive has not worked to
stop the acute pain in my left leg. Is
anyone out there who has had this able to
answer a few questions.
How bad is the pain in the leg post
operative and for how long?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I am 2 weeks post -op and I still have
some pain in my left leg, which is why I
looked into this in the first place. I
was told that it will take some time, all
things considered. I had the fusion from
the L2-S1 and a rod. If there is a
nerve/nerves in there that are effected,
it will probably help to be patient.
Good luck and I hope that it goes away
quickly. It certainly is not a fun thing
to have to deal with. How long have you
had this problem?
