Nerve Damage Result of Back Surgery Posted: 07-06-07 03:15am
I'm 25 years old and had laminectomy and
disc fusion surgery two years ago. I was
diagnosed with degenerative disc disease.
I tried everything before surgery.
Epidural's, physical therapy and pain
management. It just got worse. Ever since
the surgery for the last two years it's
been worse than it was before surgery. I
have stabbing, electric feeling in my
lower back where I had the surgery and
down my left leg. Down my left side
sometimes to my knee, but not on both
sides at the same time. I have been to the
ER because I couldn't open my eyes or stop
crying from it. I went to see two
neurosurgeons and they told me that
probably i have nerve damage. Have someone
had the same experience? please help !!! i
need some advice !!!
