Hi,
Thanks for the question . I understand your concern.
Actually you already had 3 spinal surgeries. NOt migrain, but URI with hectic cough can cause collapse of disc..
The side leg pain can be caused by nerve irritation, pressure/ kinking or pinching of nerve with the collapsed disc.
You are probably being given pain medicine or steroid injection to relieve pain. if it is helping .. you should add & try with physical therapy, physiotherapy . Spinal fusion surgery is the only option left .. if nothing helps.
Please consult a orthopedic surgeon.
Thanks.
