I just had lower back surgery: L4, L5, decompression of nerves. I am into my fourth week of recovery, and I am experiencing nerve pain in my left hip, thigh, knee, inner leg, and lower right back. The doctor is placing me on Neurontin to alleviate this issue. Has anyone else gone through this pain? Best Regards..I would appreciate responses.
Hi,
The symptoms of leg and buttock pain that you have mentioned is common in case of ruptured discs, due to the compression of spinal nerves. Please consult another neurologist for a second opinion. Physiotherapy and decompression of the spinal nerves may relieve the symptoms. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
