    Hi folks
    I had second back surgery end of August 16 for the second time .it certainly made a huge difference to my upper back and the spasms these spasms are gone now completely.I had a double fission a cage installed into my lower back on L5 S1 and L4 also had a discompression on L3
    The problem is I am still having a lot of pain in my lower back my left leg and left foot I also have a numbness and pain in my left foot at the ball of the foot and also dropped foot .
    As one else had these operations that have been left with these symptoms after the operations?

    I would really be interested in talking to people in the same situation I am based in the Blanchardstown area.

    I have too just had a lumbar decompression and discetomy on l5/s1 disc, herniated on one side prolapsed on the other. The sciatic pain in my left leg was unreal, wanted to cut it off no joke. I'm on day six out if surgery Mr poynter in mater. Back feels like I haven't even had an opportunity on it, but have pain in m left thigh, left calf and alot in left foot. Had foot drop before surgery I didn't know I had it, apparently this is what the pain in the foot it. Numbness under my big toe and what I can only describe as what's like bad sunburn on the skin on top and side of foot and side of knee. Able to do all physio and walk.g they want me to do. Basically did yours go? Does it just take time or does it never really leave. Thanks bit worried post on here paid a fortune for it!!!!
