I have had back and right leg numbness and pain for about 18months
i have had a discectomy after mri scan,also revision decrompression surgery after original surgery failed. i am now 3 months on from this and still having leg problems(burning sensation,muscle weekness) i am also constantly tired and experience dizzy spells,also i have lost some hearing on my left side. could this be ms,it is another 2 months before i see my neuro its driving me daft wondering.

Thanks for reply,i had discectomy after mri on lower back showed disc prolapse. i have not had mri for ms. i have seen neurosurgeon on several occaisions,with my back and leg problems. After second mri still showed disc problems i had second op 3 months ago ,but still having problems mostly with leg(weekness,burning sensation,pain,) im also constantly tired and have had a few spasms ln my leg. i saw neuro 3 weeks ago ,he said i was still showing problems(no reflexs on right leg) he wants me to return in 2 months. i dont think the poss ms has been looked at because of the disc prob,i am now wondering if anyone else has disc probs associated with ms.

sorry I don't understand the discectomy after mri scan??  when do you see the Neuro and have you had lesions in a brain or spine MRI?  

what other specialist have you seen?

read up on our Health Pages...top right side of page is a link.. lots of info there

take care
