Failed laminectomy? What next?
I am in my 20s and have had back problems for a couple years.
Ive had some unique stuff but its from my l5-s1 disk that herniated.
I had the sciatica + some genital numbness. After doing all the conservative things with no success, I tried microdiscectomy. It seemed to help for a long while but about a year later, my progress fell apart and I ended up getting a revision laminectomy.
I am 6 months post op and I feel that the second surgery didnt work.
I can barely do anything and I am starting to get depressed from lack of being able to do anything strenuous.
I have bad tingling in my foot, tingling in groin, and pelvic/hamstring spasms, I have minor back pain and no sciatica. I am not sure what to do at this point. I thought i was doing a bit better a couple weeks ago and went to the gym for a light workout which i was cleared to do and that really set me back a ton.
I can't sit, i have a hard time laying on my back, cant exercise.
My surgeon told me all this would get better after my follow up but it seems to have gotten worse instead.
