lumbar laminectomy
Anyone with a lot of leg pain after lumbar laminectomy?

I had surgery on L4/L5 and had many of leg pain and numbness in the other leg. It has only been around more than 4 weeks since the surgery. I have to take pain pills around the clock.Is this normal?

I suggest you consult your doctor again and have a chat with him or her. On many things that can go wrong with back surgery. Statistically the rate of improvement or success rate of fifty percent. It is possible that another hernia, scars, or any number of other things that could be attributed to this problem. As it was just not where the answers will come. Another MRI can be done, but often the results are not clear how soon after a procedure. The doctor put in physical therapy? If not, now is a good time to do so.
