I have two types of leg pain. Both were there prior to surgery (3 level ProdiscL 10/06 with Dr B). The first is a all over aching, sometimes hot pain that gets worse with standing and walking, usually from lower thighs down. Prior to surgery I had several rounds of facet injections and that helped this leg pain, as well as the grinding pain. Have been told that this is probably due to nerve damage. In addition, recently I am having bouts of calf pain (sciatica like). I am more concerned about this pain because it has come back. Also had this before the surgery but it went away after about 3 months. My PT thinks that my facet might be stuck so I am going to see my chiropractor, (who has 5 patients now that have had ADR). he fixed this problem once before with a gentle adjustment. I am also worried about scar tissue. I have lots of it from microdiscetomy and IDET procedures, Dr B told me that it complicated my surgery. SO I would like to hear others thoughts.
