What Causes Severe Muscle Pain After A Spinal Surgery?
I am having terrible hip, leg ,,thigh and muscle pain since my Dec. 3rd. spinal surgery. The pain is only on my left side. Most of my pain was on that side before surgery but it was nerve endings shooting down my leg.(spinal steniosis?) Why so much muscle muscle pain? No more back or leg nerve pain.

hi,
thank-you the brief history of you.
well the question looks a bit of confusing here to me. don't take me wrong. is it the 3rd spinal surgery or is the surgery performed on 3rd Dec?
as you mentioned you have undergone the surgery for the radiating symptoms and post that you are having a severe muscle pain. Well, just to ask how long it is being post surgery? and if it was post discharge are on physical therapy for performing exercise to strengthen the muscles.
Since you have pain which is only muscular I can advice you to contact the surgeon as to just on a safer side to check once. Next, usually there will be little pain due to incision and muscle weakness which will get reduce once the proper physical therapy is performed.
with the grace of God I wish you a good health and also to mention that with the grace of God radiating symptoms are not present so your nerve is fully safe guarded now.
regards
