Nerve pain after back surgery
Has anyone suffered prolonged nerve pain in their leg and foot either before or after lower back surgery ??
Mine started with a severe sciatic nerve pain outbreak after a 24 hr vomiting spree from taking a high dose of a GLP med , I guess all the strain from vomiting flared up my herniated disk so anyway I had terrible sciatica on my entire right side and winded up in the hospital for 4 days where they took care of most of my pain except
In the shins and foot so I went home like that and suffered from shooting hot nerve pain in my foot that was so bad I gave in to surgery to remove the hernia that was pinching my nerve so the neurosurgeon told me I’d wake up after Surgery with Just a bit of left over nerve pain but it hasn’t been just a bit it was actually worse and all the medications barely make a dent in the pain .
I’m 3 weeks post an MD of L5 S1 on Tuesday and still suffering with the severe nerve pain on my foot
While taking lyrica 3 times a day and OxyCotin to help too and I still have the cramping , burning , shooting electrical impulses .
When does this end !!!! I can’t stand another month of this .
If
Anyone has any insight to share please 🙏🏻
