Getting a second opinion
So I have a second opinion appointment scheduled for the first week of June.
Short story - my whole journey started with severe left leg sciatica so I had a laminectomy. My recovery went off the rails with a MRSA infection that led to 2 debridements and then osteomylitis so they had to go in and remove a chunk of bone from my vertebrae.
Now, I'm having right leg sciatica and groin pain. I had an MRI at the beginning of April that showed severe spinal stenosis. My surgeon just says it's the way my discs are "settling" after he had to remove that piece of bone. Something has had to have shifted or something to cause this right leg pain that I never had. Hence my second opinion appointment.
My left leg, the original problem, is good except for occasional nerve spasms.
Has anyone else had sciatica/pain happen in the non-affected leg after surgery?
