Severe Pain
An operation on the 23/2/11 described as: lumbar steosis decompresssion L4/5 bilateral after years of pain at the age of
63. The operation has made walking much easier but pain has continued. 2 days ago a very slight stumble may be responsible for the severe almost constant pain that I am now enduring. Pain is Front of (Right side) lower calf and now also on front of thigh and on the right buttock.
My normal drugs of alternating Co-codomel and ibuprofen are not effecting the pain levels. (Co-codemel is having a little effect)
If any one can help from their own experience or if there are any medical professionals who read these threads any advice would be very gratefully received.

Re: Severe Pain
This sounds like nerve pain and that somehing has happened at the site of the decompression, particularly if here was a sudden onset to the pain after an "incident". Best to go back to the surgeon ASAP.
