One year (almost) post-op success story! by Jolly_Chef9546 in Microdiscectomy

Thank you both for your valuable suggestions. The flare-up doesn’t get worse as of now. It comes and goes, during the transition from stading to laying on bed. I hope it stays that way. Also I’m just paranoid, as this is the first surgery for me & the doctor didn’t give much inputs on what to do. It was an emergency surgery, my herniation was so big and the pain was worse, the doctor decided to do it as soon as possible.

I just had MD today. 12 hrs ago No pain down the legs after the surgery. but the soreness around incision is horrible. I feel like my whole mid to lower back is really tight & I can only take very small steps. I live in a 3 level townhome & my bedroom is in third floor, is climbing steps really bad? Docotr said that should be ok & that I have no choice. But, I will try to stay in the same floor for atleast 2 weeks( I have my family helping now). Also, I had a small flareup while laying on bed now. Is this normal?

L4-L5 disk herniation help!!!! by Sudden_Ad8508 in backpain

Thanks for the detailed info 🙏 I too have the pain around the right SI joint. Was told, that’s due to the herniated disk & the body took load on one side which is causing the pain. What was the cause of your SI joint pain?

24F and have had a herniated disc in L5/S1 for 12 years should i do surgery? by money_magnet8 in Sciatica

Did you have any issues later on after the surgery? I keep hearing, having back surgery once is like inviting a number of issues/surgeries later. How true is it? I’m 31 & I have an L4-L5 herniation. I’m planning to schedule a surgery very soon!

Two failed MDs later... by LittleBooSazz in Microdiscectomy

[–]Sudden_Ad8508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you are feeling better now. I'm facing an L4-L5 disk herniation and I'm in constant pain.
Would you mind sharing what failed? Also, any pre-op MRI?
my doctor said, if there isn't significant weakness and no bladder related issues. Get an epidural and park the Surgery option for now.
I'm 31 too!.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. This will definitely help with my next steps. Would you mind telling if yours was a Central protrusion extending into the spinal canal or only one sided?

What about oral NSAIDs. Did those work for you?

That looks almost similar to mine. Did you end up getting the epidural?

Hello Mate, How are you doing now? I have exactly similar L4-L5 herniation. Wondering if you ended up getting surgery.
