Breaking News, Expert Tips. Get the Answers You're Looking On Discetomy Surgery.

my 81 yr. old mom recently had back surgery (discetomy) for a herniated disc. she had the surgery on feb.7.?

her pain was mainly in her legs as the herniated disc was pressing on a nerve. my question is, should she still be having leg pain ? it has been almost 4 weeks since her surgery. has anyone had a similar experience with this type of operation ?
she went for her post-op check up last tues. and her surgeon put her on a week of prednisone.
