Hi Treylos,
I had the video assisted thoracic surgery to remove one extremely painful disc T7-8 and another T 11-12. The upper one was successfully removed then fused. Well 2 months later i still had the horrible pain, just less frequently. I don't know when i last experienced it , but believe me it is totally gone thankfully. Maybe at 4 months?? I was still recovering , it was a rough surgery for me, but the pain was gone , hopefully forever.
So hang in there as long as your doctor says it is normal at this point
