Anyone have a discetomy on there lower back?

Question

this is my 4 th day from surgery.. they said that all the pain in my leg should be gone.. and for the most part it is..but whenever i go to walk and put my right leg forward.. i get a sore pain in my butt and it makes me walk with a limp..it is diffrent than the pain before the surgery.. i was just wondering if this was normal.

Answer 1

hopefully all your preop pain will be gone soon, because of your back surgery some muscles are hurting and you are using the other muscles more, this is the most likely reason of a new type of pain. I would recommend to keep up with physical therapy and do report to your doctors any persistance of symptoms or new symptoms, good luck
