What Causes Pain In The Leg After Microdiscectomy?
I had a microdiscectomy on the 9th of this month. Every time I sit (before and after) surgery, it hurts. Sometimes I get a shooting pain down my left leg. This is my second microdiscectomy in less than two years. Why is this happening and should I be worried about a blood clot?

Hi,
After microdiscectomy surgery pain like you have can be while nerves start healing occasional musclespa am may follow during this stage.
One needs to have a healthy lifestyle limit optimum weight &physiotherapy exercises to avoid repeat symptoms &surgeries.
A blood clot causes acute pain in leg with the possibility of deep vein thrombosis. Diagnosed/excluded with 4d, USG of blood vessels of the affected part.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
