Reherniation After MD
I had a microdiscectomy in December to alleviate severe leg pain caused by a ruptured disk.
4.5 months later my leg still has numbness, muscle tightness,minor sciatica and burning sensation in my butt.
The doctor who performed the surgery said that's normal and to give it some time. I asked for an MRI to see a before and after and he said no.
Not happy with my progress I got a second option and found a doctor that approved an MRI.
MRI showed a reherniation. Doctor said it either reherniated or original doctor didn't get all of the herniation.
Said my options were to live with the pain, get a shot to help with the paid have a fusion surgery to fix it for good.
Has anyone else gone through a similar journey and what did you do?
