Is It Normal To Have Pain In Leg After Endoscopic Discectomy?

Hi there I had an endoscopic discectomy last Thursday and the pain in my leg seems worse than ever. I have started taking tramadol again as the pain is so horrible and worse than the nausea the tablets give me. My question is is the post op pain typical?

Post operative pain is usually for some days, but only at the back. Not at the leg region as you are saying. It explains that it is a case of Failed back surgery syndrome, which some patients unfortunately suffer from. Get help from an interventional pain physician. Tramadol is not going to help much in such pain.
