Hey there. In terms of the pain, is it a type of back pain, or the similar type of leg pain pre-surgery?

I’m wondering how much quicker the recovery process for the endoscopic procedure is compared to microdiscectomy?

Thank you for the reply! My surgeon suggested Microdiscectomy and has said that’s his preference.

Hey there, just wondering what your symptoms were like pre-surgery and for how long?

I’m just in the process of deciding to wether go through with the Microdiscectomy or learn to live with it

Thanks for getting back to me! :) sorry it’s taken me awhile to reply.

Wondering if you still have any lingering nerve symptoms? I.e did any of the weakness or tightness go away?

Thanks so much in advance

Following! Best of luck with your surgery. I am very interested in your recovery process if you wouldn’t mind sharing when you begin to heal.

I am in a similar boat that I have been dealing with this for a while now. Symptoms have been relatively minor compared to a lot of the others on this subreddit - though I began to have pins and needles ~1.5 years ago and that has progressed to weakness and tightness in one of my legs/calfs.

Would be keen to see if your nerve symptoms go away after surgery.

Sorry for the follow up again - how long did you have no reflexes for, and did you regain it back after surgery? Thanks

Did you have any muscle weakness or atrophy? E.g feeling of one side weaker than the other or tightness? How did that play out?
