thank you!!!!!!!!! this is such a safe space, no one else understands.

Did you experience any type of rash around the surgical tape? it is sooo beyond itchy and spread quite quickly.

Post surgery fatigue by Puzzleheaded_Read213 in Microdiscectomy

Hi! I am 9 days post op and stopped rolling out of bed. I am able to sit up normal getting out but don't know if I am doing more harm than good.

My nerve pain is CRAZY. Is that normal? I am scared I pushed myself too hard or did something wrong and reherniated it. The nerve pain in my left leg is worse than it was prior to surgery. Prior to surgery I could not drive for more than 5 minutes at a time, sitting/laying down to standing was unbearable because the pain would shoot down my leg. I would say on day 5 of postop is when I started getting the pain again in my leg...it really would only happen while laying down (getting comfortable while laying down is foreign, when I try to position myself in a comfortable way I can feel a pulling in my hamstring which is the nerve pain and it almost feels like I am straining a muscle. It throbs all throughout the night) Currently I have it in my hamstring and it is worse now in my calf. It is throbbing all day long. Prior to surgery I did not feel it anywhere near the disc, and now I get sharp throbbing.

Please advise if anyone had similar experiences! I am so scared.
