pain after laminectomy - 2008/09/28 00:16 I had a lumbar laminectomy in Jan 2008. I had both arthritis in my back and two herniated disks. I was having numbness in my left leg before surgery. after the surgery, I felt wonderful and resumed normal life - actually more than I could do before the surgery. Now, I am starting to have back pain agin in my lower back. I am 37 and went through PT, the epidural shots and other therapy prior to the surgery. NO one wanted to operate due to my age but nothing else worked. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the pain and wondering what it is. I feel really frustrated with doctors ( to a point) since they all just want to give me pain pills but don't want to fix the problem. the pain I have now is bad and inm my lower back around my scar and also again have numbness down my right leg. I did nothing to start this. Just woke up the other morning and it started. I wonder if my herniated disks could have herniated more and are pushing on my nerves?
Thanks.
