How To Overcome The Hurting Feeling That Sustains Even After A Post Lumbar Laminectomy/discectomy?

I had a post lumbar laminectomy/discectomy a month ago. I thought it would fix my problem but I am feeling worst than before. now when my clothes touches my leg it feels like pins. I am still walking with a gait and no medication seems to be helping me with pain as it seems that I am allergic to almost everything they give me?

Hi,

I have read your query.

You get x-ray of lumbo-sacral spine done in AP and Lateral view, discus again it with your doctor who operate you. If needed your doctor may advise you MRI scan of lumbar spine to see condition of discs and vertebrae and nerves which are compressed. Your doctor may advise you back strengthening exercises which you can also see on you-tube.

As you have mentioned that you are allergic to everything you should not take painkillers by yourself, but took advise of doctor before taking any medication.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

I hope you have got your answer.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
